According to Reuters, on August 3, 2026, Apple asked for a preliminary injunction, and inspired OpenAI's post that didn't say that much. Specifically, it asked for this injunction to bar OpenAI and two former Apple employees from acquiring or using allegedly confidential information. Apple further wants depositions to be taken from multiple OpenAI representatives and in particular three ex-Apple employees. Alongside these claims against people who have mostly been named before, though, Apple now says it has "serious concerns" about eleven other OpenAI employees. If the OpenAI employees did as Apple accuses, they already have and will already have used that information.
