Apple in 2020 agreed to pay up to $500 million to settle a class-action lawsuit in the US that accused the iPhone maker of “secretly throttling” some iPhone models.
According to MacRumors, the payouts have finally started going out to individuals who submitted a claim.
Some users have seen cheques deposited to their accounts amounting to $92.17 per user as part of the settlement.
Apple always denied the allegations, saying it agreed to the settlement only to “avoid burdensome and costly litigation.”
The class-action lawsuit included any US resident who owned an affected iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and/or iPhone SE that ran iOS 10.2.1 or later, and/or an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus that ran iOS 11.2 or later, before December 21, 2017.
