Overview

• Apple filed its complaint June 24 in Santa Clara County Superior Court, accusing Di Liu of downloading thousands of confidential Apple documents during his two-week departure period.
• The company alleges Liu concealed a Snap job offer to retain system access and transferred internal files to his personal cloud storage three days before resigning.
• Stolen materials reportedly include Vision Pro design specifications, development research, supply chain strategies and details of unreleased technologies.
• Apple’s forensic analysis of Liu’s Apple-issued laptop showed manual selection, renaming and uploading of folders, along with deletion of files to hide the scope of transfers.
• Apple is seeking the documents’ return, court-ordered inspections of Liu’s digital systems and unspecified financial damages; Snap has stated it sees no evidence linking the allegations to his work there.
