Apple iPhone Users May Get Around $65 From Company

What Had Happened?

Apple iPhone users could receive approximately $65 each as a $500 million lawsuit over the 'batterygate' problem concludes. A US court judge approved payments to affected users.

What Is The Lawsuit About?

A lawsuit against Apple stemmed from users reporting phone shutdowns despite batteries displaying over 30% charge, leading to the legal action.

What iPhones were affected by Batterygate?

What did Apple agree to in the settlement?

Apple, while not admitting wrongdoing, agreed to a $500 million settlement. Claimants were expected to receive around $25 each under the settlement terms.

Then why is Apple giving people $65?

Claims had to be filed to access the settlement. With only three million claims submitted, each claimant will receive more than expected due to incomplete participation.

Can I still file a claim?

Regrettably, the opportunity ended on October 6, 2020. Only approved claims submitted by then will receive the payout as part of the settlement.
