Apple-related class action news in Canada has recently focused on the “iPhone performance throttling/battery” claims.
- Apple settlement agreed in a Canadian iPhone class action (battery/performance throttling): Apple agreed to a settlement in Canada that (depending on eligibility and successful claims) could pay consumers between about $17.50 and $150, and the overall settlement was reported at up to about $14.4 million CAD.[4]
- Update on timing/approval steps: Earlier reporting also described litigation and opt-out timelines, along with settlement amounts that could total about $11.1M–$14.4M depending on the final settlement administration/claims.[2]
- Earlier, separate iPod “battery life” class actions (not the same case as the iPhone throttling one): Another article describes iPod-related class-action settlement approvals in Canada, with a reference to similar U.S. resolution (this is a different product/issue than the iPhone throttling case).[1]
Quick question (so I pull the right “latest”)
Are you asking about the iPhone battery/performance throttling class action, or the iPod battery-life one? If you tell me which model/product you care about (iPhone 6/7 vs iPod), I can summarize the most relevant recent status.
