| APPLE, INC.source ↗ filed by Bradley Grombacher LLP · Judge Susan G. Van Keulen · No. 5:26-cv-07713 · 28:1332 Diversity-Fraud · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $87.50M–$436M ▾No Apple-specific false advertising rulings in the comparable set; mixed outcomes elsewhere (e.g., Guthrie affirmed dismissal on UCL individualized-inquiry grounds, Citizens of Humanity underlying labeling claim failed) suggest courts scrutinize class-wide reliance/materiality closely. Comparable settlements $87.50M–$436M median $90M · n=10 Toyota Industries $436M · IM Mastery Academy $90M · IM Mastery Academy $90M Per member (realized): ~$20 median · $20–$20 (n=1) Comparable verdict: Papaya $420M · Vital Pharmaceutical $293M Key precedent: Guthrie v. Transamerica — courts often deny/dismiss UCL-style false-advertising claims requiring individualized proof of reliance, a likely defense theme here. Main risk: Individualized reliance/materiality findings (as in Guthrie) could defeat class certification or dismiss claims before trial. This defendant: Apple already faces a separate privacy/wiretap filing (Alvarez v. Apple), suggesting repeat consumer-litigation exposure. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $15M–$300M Single realized per-member data point and no Apple-specific precedent make this a rough, low-confidence estimate. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 7 verdicts | Filing | False Advertising | N.D.
