iBooks-seller was accused of conspiring with five different publishers to raise e-book pricing for customers. The $450 million settlement had received
preliminary approval back in August, and now the judge has fully approved it asking Apple to pay $400 million to as many as 23 million iBooks customers and $50 million to attorneys.</p> <!--break--> <p>As was reported by
Reuters:</p>
<p>During a hearing in Manhattan, U.S. District Judge Denise Cote approved what she called an "unusual" accord. It calls for Apple to pay $400 million to as many as 23 million consumers if the company's appeal of a ruling finding it liable for antitrust violations is unsuccessful.</p>
<p>This $400 million is Apple's settlement, which is separate from the settlements reached by the publishers themselves.</p> <p>If you want more details on the e-book price fixing saga, be sure to read
