Here's Everything That Happened With Apple in December

Apple is closing out 2015 with a fairly busy month.

Apple's seeking additional money from Samsung, but the final payout is still up in the air, as Samsung is expected to appeal the verdict.

The company also made some major leadership changes late in the month, and added a few new labs for possible chip and display research. Click on the slideshow below to find out more.
