A federal judge has appointed two San Francisco Bay Area attorneys to lead the plaintiffs team and reached out to a Florida attorney to coordinate litigation for consumers claiming Apple Inc. throttled their iPhone speeds.

Joseph Cotchett of Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy in Burlingame and Laurence King of Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer in San Francisco were named co-lead plaintiffs counsel in the order issued Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Edward Davila in San Jose, California.
