Apple Loses Appeal Fined $1.2M For Misleading Customers

It looks like Apple lost its appeal and will have to pay the $1.2M fine levied against the company for cheating its customers.

The fruit-named technology retailer said it would appeal. That appeal fell through and Apple walks away with a meagre fine and a slap on the wrist. Under Italian law, products bought are given two years warranty by default. But Apple knowingly provided a one-year warranty for its Macs and iOS devices, including iPhones and iPads, whilst pushing its additional year of extended warranty in form of a premium service.
