Apple has agreed to give more than $100 million (£66m) in iTunes store credits to settle a lawsuit alleging that the iPhone and iPad maker improperly charged children for playing games on their mobile devices.
The two-year-old case centres on allegations that Apple did not create adequate parental controls to prevent children from buying extra features while playing free games on iPhones and iPads in 2010 and 2011.
Parents who filed the lawsuit in 2011 said they did not realise their children were racking up the charges until they received bills or other notifications after the purchases were made.
Under an agreement filed in federal court last week, Apple has agreed to award an iTunes credit of $5 (£3.30) to each of the estimated 23 million accountholders who may have been affected.
Parents could receive more if they can show their bills exceeded that amount.
If the charges exceeded $30 (£19), cash refunds will be offered.
