SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge on Monday gave the go-ahead to a proposed class action claiming Apple Inc. impeded the delivery of former iPhone users’ text messages after they switched to non-Apple devices.

Koh tossed another chunk of the potential class action, ruling plaintiffs lawyers couldn’t prove Apple misled customers about the glitch in violation of consumer protection laws.
