Apple Settles Lawsuit with Former Engineer Over Confidential Leaks

Andrew Aude, who leaked details on unreleased Apple products, issues public apology as lawsuit concludes with undisclosed settlement.

Apple filed a lawsuit last year against former iOS engineer Andrew Aude for leaking confidential company information to journalists.
The leaked details included information about the Journal app, Vision Pro headset, and other unreleased Apple products and policies.
The lawsuit was dismissed after Apple and Aude reached a settlement, though the terms of the agreement remain undisclosed.
Aude issued a public apology, acknowledging his actions as a profound mistake that damaged his career and professional relationships.
Apple accused Aude of deleting evidence during an internal investigation, including encrypted communication records tied to the leaks.
