Apple Agrees to Pay Out $25M to Settle Lawsuit over Family Sharing 

Apple has agreed to pay out $25 million to settle a class action lawsuit over its Family Sharing feature, which lets users and up to five of their family members share access to apps, music, movies, TV shows and books that they purchase. The lawsuit, which was first filed in 2019, alleged that Apple misrepresented the ability to use its Family Sharing feature to share subscriptions to apps. The lawsuit says that Apple denies that it made any misleading misrepresentations and denies all allegations of wrongdoing. The settlement agreement notes that Apple has concluded that continuing to defend this Action would be burdensome and expensive.
