Chris Ridout Appointed to Leadership Role in Apple iPhone Battery MDL

Zimmerman Reed partner Chris Ridout has been appointed to serve on the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee on behalf of consumers nationwide in the multidistrict litigation (MDL) against Apple.  The MDL litigation relates to allegations that Apple purposely slowed down the performance of older iPhones following a software update, and failed to inform its customers, presumably to force customers into buying a new iPhone or replacement battery.
