Apple Sues Ex-Engineer Over Alleged Theft Of Vision Pro Secrets As Snap Prepares AR Glasses Launch - Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Snap (NYSE:SNAP)

  • Apple filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara County on June 24, 2025, accusing former engineer Di Liu of stealing trade secrets related to the Vision Pro headset and transferring them to Snap Inc.
  • During his two-week offboarding, Liu concealed his Snap role, retained system access, and stole proprietary files, creating a security vulnerability.
  • Apple's legal team alleges that Liu downloaded and transferred thousands of files, including hardware designs and blueprints, to personal cloud storage using active credentials during his final days.
  • Apple seeks damages, return of stolen materials, and forensic device inspection to protect its trade secrets.
  • More broadly, Apple’s long-standing legal efforts to protect trade secrets reflect its strategy to defend its position in the competitive AR market ahead of Snap’s 2026 glasses launch.
