Update on Apple Pays Over $9.5 Million To Settle Dispute Over Powerbeats2 Charging Issues: Apple has agreed to pay $9.75 million to settle lawsuit overcharging issues with its Powerbeats2 wireless earphone. Launched in 2017, the suit concentrated on the advised claims of durability, battery life, and sweat resistance, claiming the earphones had a design defect that caused them to stop holding a charge after a short period of time.

Some individuals also claimed the company of not repairing or replacing the devices within the one-year warranty period. Apple denied all allegations, saying it’s only settling given the “risks, uncertainties, burden, and expense of continued litigation,” according to the agreement made.
