Apple Reaches A$2.25M Settlement With Australian Regulator Over Misleading ’4G’ iPad Claims

In addition to the A$2.25 million (US$2.23 million) penalty, Apple is also expected to pay A$300,000 toward the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s legal fees, The Australian reports (via The Next Web).
