"iPhone Users Begin Receiving Apple's 'Batterygate' Settlement Funds"

Apple has begun distributing payments of approximately $92.17 to iPhone users as part of a $500 million settlement over the "batterygate" controversy, where the company was accused of intentionally slowing down older iPhones. The lawsuit settlement, agreed upon in March 2020, compensates consumers who filed claims for affected iPhone models. Although Apple denies wrongdoing, affected users are now receiving their settlements, with some reporting multiple payouts for multiple claims.
