Apple Argues Suit Over IPhone Data Fails to Show Harm

Apple Inc., attempting to block a group lawsuit alleging it collected data from millions of customers’ mobile devices while they used applications approved by the company, said plaintiffs failed to prove their claims.
Lawyers for the customers asked U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh at a hearing yesterday in San Jose, California, to designate the suit a class action. Apple argues the request should be denied because plaintiffs haven’t shown that any users had personal information collected by the free apps without their consent, and as a result, can’t show they suffered any harm, according to a court filing.
