Apple Could Owe Geneva Parents Money
Did your son or daughter get wrongly charged for a video game? There's a class action suit settlement, and Apple could owe you.
Apple has settled a class-action lawsuit filed by parents who say their kids racked up bills after downloading seemingly free games in the App store, CNN reports.
Read the entire Apple settlement
Parents say the kids downloaded the games for free, but were charged for extras while playing the games, CNN reports. Under the settlement, which is expected to be approved Friday, Apple will offer parents a $5 iTunes gift card if they claim their child was charged for these extras without their knowledge. If a parent can show their bill was more than $5, Apple will offer a more substantial credit.
