Millions Of iPhone Owners Wait For Batterygate Payouts
More than two million iPhone owners are still waiting for their
‘Batterygate’ payouts, more than a year after the case was settled.
Apple agreed to pay at least
$310 million to settle the Batterygate case in March 2021, with more than 2.2 million claims for compensation approved before deduplication.
The Batterygate scandal saw @Apple accused of
hampering the performance of select iPhone models to improve battery life, something which the company has long denied.
Despite the settlement figure being agreed last March, affected
iPhone owners have yet to receive any compensation. The case is reportedly subject to appeals, although no court documents have been filed since March last year. Similarly, the official website for claimants hasn’t been updated in more than a year.
