On Monday Italian regulators hit Apple with a 10 million euro ($12 million) fine. The fine is over claims Apple made about iPhones' water resistance. The regulator said Apple's claims about how deep and long its iPhones could go in water without sustaining damage were only true under laboratory conditions. The regulators also said Apple's warranty failed to help customers whose phones had been water-damaged. Business Insider reports that Apple claimed various iPhone models were water resistant from 3 and 13 feet for up to 30 minutes.
Tech giant Apple used to release new iPhones every year. And when they did, older models began to act up, leading consumers to believe they needed a new phone. That led to multiple lawsuits, and Apple has been trying to make the whole embarrassing 'Batterygate' legal saga go away for years. Now, Gizmodo reports that on Wednesday, the finish line came into view. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced that an investigation involving 34 states is concluding with a settlement and no admission of guilt from Apple. With no admission of guilt from Apple, the proposed settlement includes a $113 million fine to be distributed amongst the states involved. Apple will also be required to provide truthful information to consumers about iPhone battery health, performance, and power management.
On Friday, Apple shares fell as much as 5.6%. The drop comes after the tech giant's fiscal fourth-quarter figures failed to meet analysts' expectations. Business Insider reports the slide saw as much as $111 billion erased from Apple's market cap. The company beat estimates for overall revenue and profit. iPhone sales were well below Apple's expectations. Apple's updated phone lineup was released roughly one month later than usual. The delay almost guaranteed sales of the new models will first materialize in its current-quarter report.

Dry the phone with another clean cloth as soon as you are done.
