The deadline to be part of the$35 million class action settlement against Apple for audio issues on some devices is here.
Consumers who owned an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus between Sept. 16, 2016, and Jan. 3, 2023 and complained to the company about audio problems are eligible to be part of the settlement, which includes people who paid Apple to repair or replace the device.
The deadline is June 3.
Apple did not reply to requests for comment, but the settlement website said the company denied allegations of wrongdoing and it also denied the devices had problems.
People may be eligible if they paid Apple for repairs or replacements after complaints were logged in Apple’s records as about “Sound-Speaker, Sound-Microphone, Sound – Receiver, Unexpected Restart / Shutdown,” or “Power On – Device Unresponsive,” the settlement website said.
Customers will receive at least $50 and no more than $349 if they paid for the repair or a replacement, the settlement website said.
If you didn’t pay for repair or replacement, you may still be eligible for up to $125, it said.
You should have received a postcard or email with a Notice ID and Confirmation Code to enter into the settlement website, which is where you can indicate how you would like to receive your payment. If you didn’t receive the postcard or email, you can use a lookup tool on the settlement website, it said.
Consumers can also call (833) 633-0343 to see if they’re eligible.
