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.
In 2017, Apple admitted that it throttled the performance of older iPhones, but they swore it was to try to improve battery life, not just to push you to upgrade. A class-action lawsuit was filed and the company settled for $500 million. That works out to roughly $25 for every iPhone.
If you or your family members owned any of these before December of 2017: iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S Plus, or SE, iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, you could receive money from the settlement.
As long as you have the serial number of the phone, you can go to SmartPhonePerformanceSettlement.com and claim your piece of the payout.
