Apple has been fined in the region of $12 million (€10 million) by Italy's competition regulator, Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (AGCM), which said the company made false claims about the waterproof capability of its iPhones, Business Insider reported.

The latest incident brings the company's total fines in 2020 to more than $1.36 billion (€1.14 billion), with two others issued by French authorities earlier this year, including a $1.3 billion (€1.1 billion) fine in March and $29.9 million (€25 million) fine in February.
