From wiki:

Quote:
In July 2013, US District Court Judge Denise Cote found Apple guilty of conspiring to raise the retail price of e-books and scheduled a trial for 2014 to determine damages.[4]

In June 2014, Apple settled the e-book antitrust case out of court with the States; however still appealed Judge Cote's initial ruling.[5]

In June 2015, the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals, by a 2-1 vote, concurred with Judge Cote that Apple conspired to e-book price fixing and violated federal antitrust law.[6][7] Apple appealed the decision.

In March 2016, the Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear Apple's appeal that it conspired to e-book price fixing therefore the previous court decision stands, which means Apple must pay $450 million.[8
