After a few years, Apple has finally started sending out ‘Batterygate’ payments to affected iPhone owners who had filed a claim
A settlement of $500 million for a class action lawsuit in the U.S. was agreed by Apple back in 2020 when the company was in deep trouble for forcefully throttling the performance of owners’ iPhones without informing them. After a few years, users who submitted a claim a while back are now finally receiving payments.Class action lawsuit against Apple for throttling iPhone performance was filed in 2017
A website spotted by MacRumors that provides a timeline of the batterygate settlement states that payments will likely start to be distributed this month. The report also states that MacRumors readers Ken Strand and Michael Burkhardt received payments of $92.17 per claim from Apple as part of the settlement, though not everyone will be entitled to this amount.
