A class-action suit against Google over data tracking could yield some iPhone users in the UK a whopping $1,042. The suit in question goes all the way back to 2011 and 2012 when Apple took measures to block third-party cookies in its iOS Safari browser. And seeing as how Google's primary revenue stream comes from advertising, the search giant figured out a clever way to implement cookies without alerting users.
