If you live in the United States and owned an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus between September 16, 2016, and January 3, 2023, Apple might owe you as much as $349 as part of a settlement agreement in a lawsuit over a defective chip.
Apple has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit brought against the company, over claims “the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus experienced certain audio issues allegedly related to the “audio IC” chip.” As is often the case in these scenarios, Apple denies the devices had any such issues and denies all allegations of wrongdoing. However, that hasn’t stopped the company from agreeing to create a $35 million settlement fund that will be paid to customers who owned the allegedly defective devices.
