Now, the eligible iPhone owners are getting noti- fied about their legal rights and options. To those who sub- mit a claim, Apple is offering cash payouts of up to $25 to eligible customers who submit a claim. However, the total payout will be between $310 million and $500 million. So, the exact amount that each iPhone owner gets will vary based on the number of claims submitted. The U.S. resi- dents who own or had previously owned an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and/or iPhone SE that ran iOS 10.2.1 or later, and/or an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus that ran iOS 11.2 or later, before December 21, 2017, are eligible. On top of that, the class members must have experienced “diminished performance” on their devices. All claims must be submitted online or received by letter mail by October 6, 2020, or else payment is forfeited.
