Apple iPhone Litigation |
On May 15, 2018, Kaplan Fox and co-counsel Cotchett Pitre were appointed to lead the global class action litigation arising out of Apple’s admission on December 20, 2017 that it included code in various iOS updates designed to slow processor speeds. Plaintiffs allege that Apple misrepresented the effect of the iOS updates, and further allege that Apple’s purpose was to conceal a battery or battery-integration defect in various iPhones and iPads. The consolidated action brings together more than 60 federal class actions, and lead counsel are also tasked with coordinating with litigation brought outside of the United States or in state courts.
