CEO Tim Cook and CFO Luca Maestri have been named as defendants in the lawsuit

Investors have launched a lawsuit against Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) on claims the company withheld details about how much iPhone demand had slumped in 2018.

In January, Apple shares fell 10% a day after issuing a revenue warning. The tech giant blamed poor iPhone sales, particularly in China, which has been embroiled in a trade dispute with the US.

Investors who bought shares in Apple two months before the warning have filed a lawsuit against the firm on allegations of securities fraud.

Chief executive Tim Cook and chief financial officer Luca Maestri have been named as defendants in the lawsuit, which was filed in California by the City of Roseville Employees’ Retirement System.
