Apple agreed to compensate users who may have been harmed by branded ads. This was reported by Popular Science.
The publication notes that the company has managed to resolve the legal dispute regarding Family Sharing ads. Apple agreed to distribute $ 30 (about 2.8 thousand rubles) to affected users; the final amount may increase to $50. The company also plans to cover legal costs.
The publication emphasizes that the case was filed in 2019. Victims claimed the company misled them by advertising its Family Sharing function, which purportedly allowed users to share subscriptions to Apple and other companies’ services with loved ones. However, not all third-party services allowed subscriptions to be split this way, and the company did not mention this in its advertising materials.
