Apple Begins Distributing 'Batterygate' Settlement Checks to iPhone Customers
Apple has started distributing $92.17 checks to claimants as part of the 'batterygate' class action settlement, following the 2017 controversy where the company slowed down iPhones with older batteries to prevent unexpected shutdowns. The settlement, agreed upon in 2020, compensates users who may have felt compelled to upgrade their devices prematurely. Affected models include the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus, and the original iPhone SE. Claimants who filed by October 6th, 2020, are now receiving payments.
