Investor Alert: Class Action Lawsuit Against Apple Inc.
In a significant announcement on June 20, 2025, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP called on investors of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), who suffered substantial financial losses between June 10, 2024, and June 9, 2025, to consider taking on the role of lead plaintiff in an emerging class action lawsuit known as
Tucker v. Apple Inc. This lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of California under case number 25-cv-05197, centers around serious allegations of securities law violations against Apple and key executives.
Background of the Case
The class action points to a stream of misleading statements made by the company regarding its advanced Siri features, which Apple had promised would integrate innovative AI technology into its devices. Investors claim that Apple substantially overstated its capabilities and the timeline for delivering these promised features. The lawsuit alleges that:
1.
Misrepresentation of Integration Time: Apple misrepresented the timeframe necessary for the integration of new AI-based features into its devices, which was critical for consumer decision-making.
2.
Impact on Sales: These AI features were expected to play a pivotal role in iPhone 16 sales, and it became evident that their absence would detrimentally affect these figures.
3.
Stock Price Decline: Following Apple's announcement on March 7, 2025, that it would delay updates to its Siri functionalities indefinitely, its stock price suffered a downward swing. Additional reports, including one from Morgan Stanley lowering Apple's price target due to the same reasons, only exacerbated this decline.
On April 3, 2025, a Wall Street Journal article highlighted Apple’s failure to deliver promised technology, further negatively impacting investor sentiment and causing another drop in stock price.
On June 9, 2025, during Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, no updates regarding advanced Siri features were provided, leading to yet another fall in stock price. This mishap led to the filing of the class action after investors indicated a desire for accountability.
The Call for Lead Plaintiffs
Robbins Geller’s announcement has generated an urgent call for investors who faced significant losses during the alleged class period to step forward. Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, any interested investor can apply to be the lead plaintiff. This role is often filled by the individual facing the greatest financial loss while being typical and adequate for the class. The lead plaintiff will represent the interests of other aggrieved class members in driving the lawsuit forward.
Investors can join the lawsuit by providing their information through the Robbins Geller website or directly contacting the firm's attorneys. Interestingly, participation as a lead plaintiff is not a prerequisite for recovering any potential financial settlements from the lawsuit.
