In a filing reported by Reuters, OpenAI alleges a former employee sent 100+ files tied to its product plans to a personal account before joining Apple, then presented them to Apple leadership including its VP of Asia operations. The files allegedly contain images of at least one unreleased device, supplier info, and engineering data — the latest salvo in the Apple–OpenAI trade secrets legal battle.
