About this settlement

Allegations that Amazon and Apple colluded to inflate iPad prices by restricting third-party sellers on Amazon's marketplace.

A class action lawsuit alleges that Apple and Amazon entered into an agreement in 2018, effective January 2019, to significantly limit third-party sellers of Apple products on Amazon's platform. The plaintiffs claim this deal, which reduced resellers from over 600 to seven, led to inflated prices for iPads purchased through Amazon's "Buy Box." The lawsuit, filed in Washington federal court, seeks to represent U.S. residents who bought new iPads from the Buy Box on Amazon.com between May 7, 2020, and the date of class notice. The plaintiffs estimate the deal added $40 to $109 to the price of each iPad and allege violations of the Sherman Act.

Who qualifies

  • U.S. residents who purchased new iPads from the Buy Box on Amazon.com between May 7, 2020, and the date of class notice.
