Apple zahlt Abfindung in iPod Akku Sammelklage

Die iPod-Akku Sammleklage vom Dezember 2003 geht ihrem Ende entgegen: "According to the terms of the settlement, people who fill out a claim form are entitled to receive $50 redeemable toward the purchase of any Apple products or services except iTunes downloads or iTunes gift certificates. They can redeem the voucher within 18 months of final settlement approval at any bricks-and-mortar Apple Store or online" meldet AP. Alle weiteren Details hält appleipodsettlement.com parat, nur Bewohner der USA in der Lage, ihre Ansprüche geltend zu machen. "We think it's a very good settlement, basically providing relief to the majority of the class that had failures," Gibbs said. "The negotiations with Apple were hard fought and at arms length and took quite a long time, but at the end of the day, the process worked like it was supposed to." Apple kommentierte bislang noch nicht. Am teuersten werden wohl die Anwaltskosten kommen: "Apple has agreed to pay up to $2.8 million to the two law firms that represented consumers."
