Apple settles 'batterygate' class action lawsuit with $92.17 payments

Checks are reaching affected users as Apple fulfills the terms of a settlement for the 2017 iPhone battery-throttling saga.

Customers who joined the class action lawsuit are reporting deposits of $92.17 in their bank accounts. The saga began in 2017 when iOS updates were found to throttle performance on older iPhones. Apple settled the class action in 2020, and payments were delayed due to legal appeals.

The settlement covers iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus, and the original iPhone SE users affected by the battery slowdown.
