News Summary

  • Apple ordered to pay $5.7bn (£4.3bn) in damages after a US jury found it had used another firm's tech without permission.
  • Audio firm Taction Technology claimed in 2021 that Apple had infringed two of its patents for haptics systems.
  • Haptics allow people to interact with devices by simulating the sense of touch or feel through vibrations.
  • This tech is built into devices like the iPhone and Apple Watch.
  • Apple said it had not used Taction's vibration tech and would appeal the verdict.
Apples Taptic Engine system enabling haptic feedback in its devices first debuted with the Apple Watch in 2014.
