The Australian reports that Apple has agreed to pay $2.25 million to settle claims that the company's use of the term "Wi-Fi + 4G" was misleading because the tablet doesn't work with the country's 4G networks. Apple already offered to provide refunds (http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/28/apple-offers-refund-over-australian-4g-ipad-confusion/) to consumers who felt deceived by the labeling. The company also renamed the aforementioned model to "iPad WiFi + Cellular (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/12/apple-new-ipad-wifi-4g-now-ipad-cellular/)" in several territories. Apple hasn't quite made it across the finish line, however -- the settlement still requires court approval before it can be finalized and the Judge has adjourned the case until Wednesday to gather more information.
