Judge trims class proposal against Apple regarding iPhone screen size

A California federal judge trimmed a proposed class action against Apple, temporarily nixing claims that the tech giant misrepresented its iPhone screen size and blocking the two consumers who brought the suit from pursuing it as a nationwide class action, reports Law360 (a subscription is required to read the entire article).

Last December two plaintiffs filed the suit in the US District Court of Northern California, alleging Apple falsely advertised the screen sizes and pixel counts of the displays in its iPhone X, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max devices. The plaintiffs are seeking class action status. 

The suit alleges that Apple lied about the screen sizes by counting non-screen areas like the notch and corners. The plaintiffs also allege that the iPhone X series phones have lower screen resolution than advertised.
