On January 2, 2019, after the close of the market, Apple announced that
it would miss its previous quarterly revenue forecast for the first time
in fifteen years and reported $84 billion revenue for first quarter
2019, compared to the expected range of $89 billion to $93 billion. The
Company attributed the revenue miss to falling iPhone sales in China and
to price cuts for iPhone battery replacements, which impacted iPhone
sales.

On this news, Apple’s share price fell $15.73 per share or over 9% to
close at $142.19 on January 3, 2019, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the
Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading
statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about
the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically,
Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) the U.S.-China trade war
had negatively impacted demand for iPhones and Apple’s pricing power in
greater China; (2) due to Apple discounting the cost of replacement
batteries to make up for the Company’s prior conduct of intentionally
degrading the performance of the batteries in older iPhones, 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; (3) as a result of slowing demand, Apple had
slashed production orders from suppliers for the new 2018 iPhone models
and cut prices to reduce inventory; (4) defendants’ decision to withhold
unit sales for iPhones and other hardware, which was a metric relevant
to investors and their view of the Company’s financial performance, was
designed to and would mask declines in unit sales of the Company’s
flagship product; and (5) as a result, the Company’s public statements
were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Apple securities during the Class
Period you may move the Court no later than June 17, 2019 to
request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action
lawsuit. To be a member of the class action you need not take any action
at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action
and remain an absent member of the class action. If you wish to learn
