Overview
- The commercial court homologated the settlement on August 11, 2026 and the official edict began publishing on September 23, 2026, with Apple accepting the agreement while denying legal liability.
- The fund totals US$3 million and will be divided among approved devices with a cap of US$40 per phone; the final per‑device payment will fall if approved claims exceed the fund.
- Eligible devices are iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, first‑generation iPhone SE, iPhone 7 and 7 Plus that ran specified iOS versions before December 21, 2017, and claimants must have resided in Argentina on February 4, 2020.
- Claims must be submitted online through acuerdosmartphones.com.ar and will be reviewed by Milliman S.A.; the six‑month claim clock starts only when the court formally implements the agreement and opens the portal.
- The dispute stems from the BatteryGate issue where iOS performance management reduced processor speed on devices with degraded batteries to avoid unexpected shutdowns, and the settlement follows similar U.S. class‑action resolutions in 2020.
