If you are or were an Apple customer who purchased certain older iPhone models, you can now file a claim for around $25 per phone because of the settlement of a class-action lawsuit that accused Apple of slowing down the older iPhone’s. Remember the Batterygate?
This settlement is for customers who purchased the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus and or SE models before December 21, 2017. These were the phones that experienced performance issues. Apple will pay for each eligible device so you can submit multiple claims for each impacted iPhone. Please refer to the quote below from the claim submission site:
If you are or were a U.S. owner of an iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, and/or SE device that ran iOS 10.2.1 or later before December 21, 2017, and/or a U.S. owner of an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus device that ran iOS 11.2 or later before December 21, 2017, you could be entitled to benefits under a class action settlement.
