Apple has settled its lawsuit against a former engineer accused of stealing Apple Vision Pro trade secrets.
Back in July 2025, Apple accused design engineer Di Liu of stealing a “massive volume [of] various novel Apple technologies that are embodied in Apple Vision Pro.” Liu also didn’t disclose his plans to leave Apple for Snap, leaving him with Apple credentials two weeks longer than necessary.
Per Apple’s lawsuit, Liu “used his Apple credentials to exfiltrate thousands of documents containing Proprietary Information from Apple’s secure file storage systems.” The former engineer allegedly copied countless work-related folders from his Apple-issued laptop to his personal cloud storage.
