iPhone owners who signed up to get paid out of the settlement that punished the Apple by reduce the performance of old models purposely, as the batteries were degraded, they should start receiving their payments soon.
As noted by The Mercury News, the judge overseeing the lawsuit rejected an appeal from two iPhone owners who were trying to oppose the settlement, paving the way for payments to be sent.
The processor was effectively slowed down as the battery present in the devices couldn’t handle it, and some users observed slower performance speeds when this occurred. The only way to restore performance was to replace the degraded battery.
Initially, Apple did not tell customers that iOS 10.2.1 introduced this performance limitation, which angered consumers and led to a major headache for Apple, including this class action lawsuit. After, the company apologized for what happened.
iPhone owners eligible for the payment would need to submit a claim in 2020. Those who submitted the information at that time will be eligible for the payment, which will be around US$65 (~R$322) per claimant.
