Apple doubled down the same day. **[The Next Web](https://daily.dev/sources/tnw)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary OpenAI publicly rebutted Apple's trade-secrets lawsuit with a blog post titled 'Apple is getting this wrong,' publishing private messages and emails to counter Apple's claims. OpenAI argues Apple's own poor offboarding practices — not theft — led to former employees retaining access to files. The same day, Apple escalated by seeking a preliminary injunction to bar OpenAI, Chang Liu, and Tang Tan from using alleged secrets, and revealed 11 more former employees may be involved. The dispute stems from a soured partnership: OpenAI powers Apple Intelligence but has since hired 400+ ex-Apple staff and acquired Jony Ive's design studio to build its own hardware devices. A formal hearing is set for October 1 in California federal court. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
