As previously reported , Apple was accused of illegally using processor optimization technology used in the latest versions of the iPhone and iPad. The amount of the fine that threatened the corporations from Cupertino was more than $ 800 million. The US court found Appe guilty of patent infringement, and now the corporation will have to pay a fine. True, it is not about $ 800 million, the court decided to pay $ 234 million, writes Reuters.

Apple is about to file an appeal, but there is no data on the date of filing this appeal. Interestingly, the judge decided to impose a fine on Apple after considering the verdict for 3.5 hours. This was the second, decisive phase of the proceedings, which started on October 5th.

In court, Apple tried to prove that the University of Wisconsin patent was no longer valid, but the court denied this argument. Instead, the judge found Apple guilty. The technologies in question were used by the corporation to optimize their processors, which are installed in the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, as well as the iPad Pro.
