Apple and Sony must pay about 1.3 million Yen in damage to settle a lawsuit filed by a Japanese couple. This couple argued that the husband had suffered burns after their Mac caught in fire which was caused by the Sony-made battery. The couple, Sony, and Apple reached the settlement on April 2. Sony argued a link between the fire and the battery has not been determined while Apple Japan accepted liability during the trial.
