Did you own and/or purchased an Apple iPhone 6 or Apple iPhone 7 (all models) in Canada?
The class action lawsuit accused Apple of secretly throttling iPhones as their batteries degraded. Apple silently rolled out the performance throttling as a way to prevent unexpected iPhone shutdowns in 2017. This came as it transpired that iPhone batteries could not maintain peak performance as they aged. However, Apple rolled this out as part of iOS 10.2.1 in February 2017, without appropriately communicating the change to customers.
Apple has agreed to pay between $11,137,500 CAD and $14,427,500 CAD (the “Settlement Funds”) in consideration of the full and final settlement of the claims of Class Members, including but not limited to the Class Action and the Proceedings (the “Settlement”).
