You may have heard about a class action lawsuit against Apple a couple years ago. The complaint was that Apple’s iOS software diminished the performance of Ale devices, and it did so in a way that users were unaware of the diminished performance. Many people felt that this kind of performance throttling was a devious attempt to encourage users to upgrade to newer iPhones, and this controversy was dubbed Batterygate. Apple has always maintained that the performance reductions were put in place to optimize the user experience by reducing unexpected shutdowns that stem from insufficient power due to aging lithium batteries.
Nevertheless, Apple has reached a settlement which is detailed in Apple Inc. Device Performance Litigation Case No. 18-MD-2827-EJD. If you are or were a U.S. owner of an iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, and/or SE device that ran iOS 10.2.1 or later before December 21, 2017, and/or a U.S. owner of an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus device that ran iOS 11.2 or later before December 21, 2017, you could be entitled to benefits under a class action settlement.
