Apple has begun issuing settlement payments to iPhone users who filed claims under the "batterygate" class action lawsuit. MacRumors reported several users have started noticing checks deposited into their bank accounts. In 2020, the tech giant agreed to pay up to $500 million (around Rs. 4,160 crore) to resolve the lawsuit, which accused Apple of "secretly throttling" certain iPhone models. Those who submitted claims as part of the "batterygate" settlement are receiving $92.17 (nearly Rs. 7,670) per claim from Apple.
