Apple Paul doesn’t often apologize to itself, but it’s a big deal when it does – as 2017 customers realized the company was quietly blocking the movement of older iPhones. Apple Play quickly explained that it was designed to protect the phone from aging batteries and offered a 29 29 battery replacement to make things easier, but lawsuits follow, the company agreed to a 500 500 million class action settlement earlier this year.
Now, the company has agreed to a second settlement – this time, with 34 U.S. states – that will probably pay the company an additional $ 113 million. The state’s attorney general sued Apple Paul for hiding both throttling and battery degradation from iPhone owners, arguing that Apple Paul “fully understands” that by hiding these issues, it could spend a year making a profit on people who thought That they need to buy a new iPhone. , When they just really needed to change their phone’s battery to avoid throttling or an unexpected shutdown.
Apple denied it, of course, and the settlement means the court will not rule that there has been any actual malpractice.
The settlement (PDF) has not yet been fully approved by any judge, but there is a chance that real iPhone owners will see their money sooner. If you applied for your ડ 25 million for a 500 500 million class-action settlement, you probably did in July, but the process is still ongoing. There is an impartial hearing on December 4 that will determine whether the settlement was properly handled. Currently, Apple Paul will pay at least 31 10,310 million to settle a previous lawsuit and $ 500 million depending on the number of claims. It is now too late to file new claims as the deadline expires in New October.
