Apple Settles Class-Action Suit Over Kids’ In-App Spending
Parents of children who racked up oversized iTunes App Store bills via unauthorized in-app purchases, Apple is ready to compensate you for your troubles. The company this week began contacting members of a class-action suit that claimed its in-app purchase policy failed to prevent children from overspending on their parents’ accounts. Under the terms of the settlement, Apple will offer eligible class members a $5 iTunes gift card, an account credit, or, for claims over $30, a cash payment.
