The Apple iPhone class action lawsuit in Canada is paying out up to $14 million!
Now that the settlement has been approved, you can submit a claim to get money from this class action lawsuit if you had certain iPhone devices.
Class actions were filed against Apple in B.C., Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta back in 2018.
The iPhone power management class action that's now settled is related to allegations of:
- performance mitigation features of iOS versions 10.2.1, 10.3, 11 and/or 11.2 for iPhones
- defects causing iPhones to prematurely age, degrade and shut down unexpectedly
- defects in the performance of iPhone batteries
- misrepresentations or intentional concealment of the above
If you owned and/or purchased an Apple iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7 or 7 Plus with iOS 10.2.1 and/or iOS 11.2 or later installed or downloaded before December 21, 2017, you could be eligible for a payment.
The iPhone class action settlement was approved by the court on March 4, 2024.
Apple has agreed to pay between $11,137,500 and $14,427,500 to Canadian class members.
However, Apple denies the allegations of this class action and the settlement isn't an admission of liability, wrongdoing or fault.
Apple will provide a cash payment to each class member whose claim is approved.
It's expected that approved claim payouts could go up to a maximum of $150 per device.
