Apple uncovers fresh MacBook-forensics in OpenAI trade-secret case

Apple says initial forensic analysis of ex‑Apple engineer Chang Liu’s MacBook uncovered that he downloaded a confidential Apple circuit schematic and used it in his OpenAI work, that he and others at OpenAI were aware of unauthorized cloud storage access, that he attempted to destroy evidence, and that he used a tool with the same name as an internal Apple development app. Apple argues these findings support expedited discovery in its suit against OpenAI, while OpenAI has asked for dismissal; Apple also seeks access to related devices (including a Mac mini) and broader document production.
