  "account": "Apple has recently filed a court document expressing concerns over delays in Jon Prosser's response to their leak lawsuit. According to a joint status report, Apple had not received any updates from Prosser's legal counsel for a month. Prosser's lawyer cited the birth of his newborn child as the reason for the delay. This was not the first instance of delay; Apple had previously filed a request to set aside the default ruling against Prosser, but this was granted in June, initiating a new round of discovery. Over the course of this process, Prosser managed to provide Apple with necessary documents and appeared for a deposition on June 16, 2026. However, Apple's last contact with Prosser's legal team was on July 6, 2026, despite several attempts to reach out. Despite these delays, Prosser's lawyer has assured Apple that he will communicate the dates for further discovery once they are available. Furthermore, Ramacciotti, co-defendant in the lawsuit, has agreed to provide additional responses to interrogatories and sit for another deposition in September. The attorneys involved anticipate filing another status update on October 7.",
