Over the weekend, Apple users finally began receiving their piece of the MacRumors. Apple admitted to slowing down old iPhones back in 2017 without notifying users, saying it was part of delivering “WatchIs USB-C Finally Coming To iPhone? CCShare SubtitlesOffEnglishAdvertisementThe deadline to file a claim was Oct. 6th, 2020. The settlement was eligible to anyone who owned an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, or iPhone SE. It appears millions of claims were filed, and some users filed more than one.

Settlement payments may have totaled over $300 million, but that’s less than 0.1% of Apple’s 2023 revenue, $383 billion.
