CEO iPhone miscers who had their phones slowed down by Apple eligible for payment

https://mashable.com/article/apple-i...tlement-claim/
As part of a proposed settlement over the company’s Batterygate controversy, in which Apple deliberately prevented chips in older iPhones from reaching their full processing power under certain conditions, the company has agreed to make payments totaling up to $500 million overall. Based on how many claims are submitted, this should break down to up to $25 per claimant, which you should most definitely collect if you qualify.

So, who qualifies?

Do you or did you have an iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, or an iPhone SE that ran iOS 10.2.1 or later before December 21, 2017? Then you're qualified.

Did you own an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus that ran iOS 11.2 or later before December 21, 2017? Then you qualify, too!

All you have to do is file your claim at SmartphonePerformanceSettlement.com. You just need the serial number for your device. If you no longer have the phone, no problem. You’re still entitled to the money. The site can look up the serial number based on your Apple ID, name, and address.

I won't be getting $25, because I will never own an iPhone.
I think they stopped doing it and let you change the option in settings now. But yeah highly suspicious they only changed when publicly exposed and threatened with lawsuit. Makes you wonder what else are tech companies doing behind our backs.

lol @ thinking/implying only apple was guilty of this.
Samsung found to be actively slowing down older handsets via software updates.

Samsung has been fined 5 million euro ($5.7 million) after the study concluded that the updates for smartphones “caused serious dysfunctions and reduced performance significantly, thereby accelerating the process of replacing them.”


Apple said that older iPhones were slowed down through updates to prevent accidental shutdowns....Not only did Apple apologize, but it also releasedan update which allowed users to opt out of this functionality.

It's ok, the phone you buy probably get slowed down even worse over time.

Or it stops getting updates after 6 months lmao even better.

IKR, at that time Apple's iPhone was the only phones that retailed at almost $1000. Now all these major phone manufacturers flagship phones are priced close to $1000 or more :/

Why not stop supporting companies that treat their customers like retards?
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

They're both terrible, there are tons of better options. Educate yourself.
