- Apple Settles Lawsuit Over Apps Aimed at Kids - Will Pay $5 iTunes Credit or Cash A proposed settlement in a class action lawsuit against Apple may result in compensation for customers whose children racked up charges for virtual currency in free apps. If the settlement is approved by a federal judge, Apple will offer $5 in iTunes credit for those who were charged without their knowledge, matching the cost up to $30 in credit. For amounts in question over $30, a cash refund can be claimed. In order for Apple customers to claim settlement money, they will have to attest that "a minor bought 'game currency' and that the user did not provide the minor with the Apple password." [GigaOm]
