A jury has told Apple to pay a Texas company $23.6 million for using SkyTel pager technology in its iPhone and other devices without permission, Bloomberg reported.

MTel had sought $237.2 million, or $1 per device, in damages, while Apple said the firm should only receive $1 million, Bloomberg said.
