Executive Summary

Two routine procedural rulings in separate cases against Apple Inc. were issued on August 13, 2026. In Kapil v. Apple (cryptocurrency scam case), the court resolved a discovery dispute over a protective order, largely adopting the plaintiffs' data security proposal with modifications and Apple's proposal on access to highly confidential material — a standard procedural step with no financial exposure stated. In Landsheft v. Apple (consolidated class action), the court granted an unopposed motion to reset the final approval hearing date for a class action settlement, a routine scheduling order. Neither ruling involves any damages, injunction, or material financial impact on Apple, and both are Tier 4 procedural matters.
