Apple Inc. must face a lawsuit over claims it collected data from customers’ iPhones while they used applications approved by the company, a judge ruled.
US District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, dismissed some of the claims in the case while allowing others to proceed to pretrial fact-finding. “I’m going to lift any stay of discovery, and discovery is going forward,” Judge Koh told lawyers representing Apple and customers who filed the complaint. Apple, through applications on iPhones, collected data on customers’ geographical locations even after users said they didn’t want to share the information, Scott Kamber, a lawyer representing customers, said in court.
