Overview
- The settlement claims website went live on Monday, Sept. 21, 2026, and will accept filings through December 21, 2026 for eligible U.S. purchasers.
- To qualify, claimants must have bought one of seven specified iPhone models in the United States for non‑resale between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025.
- Each approved claim is initially estimated at $25 per device but the payment could rise to a maximum of $95 depending on the total number of valid claims and administrative deductions.
- Apple denies the lawsuit’s allegations and says it settled to avoid trial costs, while a final approval hearing is scheduled for February 24, 2027 so distributions will not begin until after court approval.
- The deal covers a large cohort of devices — roughly 36 million at full scope — and eligible owners will receive an email with a claim ID and PIN or can file directly on the public settlement site using their device serial number or Apple account details.
