Apple to Pay Canadian Customers Up to $150 Following iPhone Battery Controversy


A court in British Columbia, Canada today approved Apple's settlement related to the iPhone battery throttling controversy in 2018, according to...

Apple agreed to pay up to $14.4 million (CAD) to settle a class action lawsuit in Canada that alleged the company secretly throttled the performance of some iPhone models. The cases were filed shortly after Apple revealed that it had started throttling the maximum performance of some iPhone models with "chemically aged" batteries, when necessary, to prevent the devices from unexpectedly shutting down. Apple introduced this new power management system in iOS 10.2.1, but it initially failed to mention the change in that update's release notes, leading to public outcry.
