SAN FRANCISCO — A pair of Ninth Circuit jurists seemed to split Friday over whether to revive a lawsuit claiming that Apple Inc. misled consumers about how well the personal-assistant feature Siri functioned when it launched on iPhones in 2011.
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Judge Richard Tallman asked a stream of skeptical questions of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd’s Steven Hubachek, who was appealing the suit’s dismissal. Circuit Judge Barry Silverman, meanwhile, reserved his toughest questions for Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s Theane Evangelis, who urged the panel to uphold the decision from U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken. Ruling in 2014, Wilken found that the customers’ lawyers hadn’t been specific enough about how Apple’s ads in the run-up to Siri’s release misinformed the class.
