Apple has agreed to pay $20 million to settle a class action lawsuit over Apple Watch battery swelling
Eligible Apple Watch owners could get between $20 to $50 per covered device in the settlement.
The company has denied any wrongdoing and in a statement to TechCrunch said it “strongly” disagrees with the claims made in the lawsuit, but nonetheless “agreed to settle to avoid further litigation.” The exact amount of the payments will depend on how many claimants ultimately end up being involved, but it’s expected to be between $20 to $50 per eligible device. There’s a full breakdown of eligibility and deadlines on the website for the class action lawsuit, but the main thing to know is that in order to receive payment, you must have reported the issue to Apple in the US between April 24, 2015, and February 6, 2024.
