Apple fined $1.2 million in Italy for misleading users...

Italy’s ‘antitrust authority’ Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (AGCM) has fined Apple €900,000 ($1.2 million) after it was found to be misleading consumers on assistance services and warranties, AFP reports.

The antitrust watchdog issued a statement saying that it had imposed “sanctions of a total of 900,000 euros” on Apple “after it was found responsible for bad commercial practices that harmed consumers.”

Apple was also found to have given “unclear information on payments for additional assistance offered to consumers” and the company had not “fully implemented the two-year guarantee by the producer,” the authority added. Full story...
