Apple has been given the green light to settle a 2020 class-action lawsuit, bringing relief to iPhone users.
The tech giant will disburse around $65 to each eligible claimant, following revelations that certain iPhone models suffered performance slowdowns in 2017.
The lawsuit originated after Apple acknowledged its intentional throttling of device speeds.
Owners of specific iPhone models – namely the 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, and SE – running iOS 10.2.1 or later until December 21, 2017, as well as the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus on iOS 11.2 or earlier, qualified for this settlement.
The resolution, totaling between $310 million and $500 million, benefits over 3 million claimants.
However, the exact payment remains variable, with the $65 representing an approximate estimate. It’s important to note that participation closed on October 6, 2020, restricting eligibility to a subset of affected users.”
