According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading
statements to the market. Both demand for Apple’s iPhones and its
pricing power in greater China were negatively impacted by the
U.S.-China trade war. Because Apple discounted the price of replacement
batteries for certain iPhone models, a decision made due to the
revelation that the Company was purposefully degrading the battery
performance of these products, customers were replacing their batteries
instead of purchasing a new iPhone, impacting sales growth. Apple
slashed production of 2018 iPhone models and cut prices to reduce its
current inventory. The Company also withheld unit sales for iPhones and
other products, a metric long used by investors to judge the Company’s
performance, in order to mask the decline in sales of the iPhone,
Apple’s most prominent product. Based on these facts, the Company’s
public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the
class period. When the market learned the truth about Apple, investors
suffered damages.
