This. Also lawyers are expensive, and hiring a team of experienced lawyers is even more so. A bean counter probably crunched the numbers and found it would be more cost effective to settle now than to fight it out/ run the risk of losing (in which case they may also have to pay for the plantiff’s legal fees)

Uhhh, they have lawyers on retainer, lol. Which is it? They have so much money that they can throw at it or it’s too expensive to hire lawyers for.
lawyers on retainer aren’t going to represent them in an entire class action law suit with no additional fees.
and it’s not a matter of being “too expensive” for apple. It’s simply more expensive than settling. this isn’t rocket science.
