As part of a national, antitrust lawsuit, Apple Inc. will payout as much $10.1 million to Michigan consumers, state Attorney General Bill Schuette said, according to WDIV.
The payouts will come in the form of account credits or checks after the settlement with Apple, Inc. of a 2012 electronic books (e-books), price-fixing lawsuit, WDIV reports.
WDIV reports on its website:
Michigan was among 32 other states on the 2012 antitrust lawsuit brought against Apple, Inc. and five of the largest e-book publishers in the country. The suit alleged Apple conspired with book publishers to increase the retail price of e-books, causing prices for e-book editions of New York Times Best Sellers to increase from $9.99 to $12.99-$14.99, with a lesser increase for other e-books.
