Now, Gizmodo reports that on Wednesday, the finish line came into view. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced that an investigation involving 34 states is concluding with a settlement and no admission of guilt from Apple.

Apple will also be required to provide truthful information to consumers about iPhone battery health, performance, and power management.
