Apple Settles $840m Ebook Price-Fixing Case

Apple has settled its case with US states and consumers over ebook price fixing, according to a filing with a New York court made on Monday.

The attorney Steve Berman, representing US consumers and some states, told the US district judge Denise Cote that Apple had reached an agreement in principle with the plaintiffs. Cote ruled against Apple in a non-jury trial in 2013. Full details of the settlement are being kept under seal before approval by the court.
