Five years ago, iPhone owners accused Apple of maliciously slowing down iPhone 6, iPhone 7, and iPhone SE devices. The Cupertino-based tech giant maintained that it had no devious intent, but in 2020, it agreed to pay up to $500 million to avoid expensive litigation, according to Reuters.
On Friday, a judge finally gave Apple the green light to start rolling out payments to claimants. Tyson Redenbarger, a lawyer who advocated for the iPhone owners in the case, estimates that Apple will shell out about $65 for each claimant, according to SiliconValley.com.
