Nearly 27,000 South Koreans are suing Apple for privacy violations. The case stems from the revelations in April that iPhones were tracking and storing data about users’ movements.

A victory for the plaintiffs could spell bigger trouble for the company in the U.S., where it could embolden more plaintiffs and politicians to go after Apple. Apple declined to comment on the Korean case.”]
