CLASS ACTION ALERT: Brower Piven Notifies Investors of Class Action Lawsuit And Encourages Those Who Have Significant Losses From Investment In Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) To Contact Brower Piven Before The Lead Plaintiff Deadline


STEVENSON, Md., April 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) (“Apple” or the “Company”) securities during the period between November 2, 2018 and January 2, 2019 inclusive (the “Class Period”).  Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until June 17, 2019 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court.  The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the class in the action.  The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Apple securities during the Class Period.  Members of the class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.  No class has yet been certified in the above action.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that the U.S.-China trade war had negatively impacted demand for iPhones and Apple’s pricing power in greater China, one of Apple’s most important growth markets, that the rate at which Apple customers were replacing their batteries in older iPhones rather than purchasing new iPhones was negatively impacting Apple’s iPhone sales growth, and that Apple had slashed production orders from suppliers for the new 2018 iPhone models and cut prices to reduce inventory.

According to the complaint, following a January 2, 2019 announcement of the true state of its iPhone sales, particularly in China, the value of Apple shares declined significantly.

If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Apple securities purchased on or after November 2, 2018 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please contact Brower Piven either by email at hoffman@browerpiven.com or by telephone at (410) 415-6616.
