Owners of a series of older iPhones in Canada could be eligible for payouts of up to $150 as part of the latest ‘Batterygate’ settlement agreed by Apple.
As part of the ongoing legal fallout from Apple’s controversial software updates, which saw iPhones “throttled” to stop older models from shutting down unexpectedly, Apple is paying out some pretty chunky sums of money in various parts of the world including the U.S., and now Canada. This week, a B.C. Supreme Court judge has approved a settlement of up to $14.4 million, according to CBC. The case was first filed all the way back in 2018, not long after batterygate came to light.
