In this society it is not uncommon for large companies to get sued. Well in this case Apple was going to be sued but decided it would be in their best interests to settle for around $2.25 million to end the case that accuses the company of misleading the Australian public over the 4G of the new iPad in that country. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission will be the ones receiving the money as they brought the charges up in March. It was said that Apple deliberately advertised the 5G compatibility despite knowing that the third- gen tablet wasn?t supporting LTE networks in that country. Although the judge in the case has not given the final approval on the settlement but it is expected to happen. Apple in May did announce that it would provide refunds to any customer that felt misled by the advertisements and marketing. Apple tried to save face by doing this but it wasn?t enough for the ACCC to drop the charges against the company. So with that in tow the Apple corporation has decided to settle versus going through a long drawn out court battle in which they most likely would have lost.
