A lawyer for a group of iPhone owners says a British Columbia judge has approved a countrywide multimillion-dollar settlement with tech giant Apple over software updates that allegedly slowed down older devices.
The British Columbia Supreme Court has approved a countrywide multimillion-dollar settlement of a class-action lawsuit against Apple over software updates that allegedly slowed down older iPhones.
“We're pleased with the results,” said K.S. Garcha, a lawyer for the class. “It was a complex matter.”
Garcha said in an interview that the judge in the case approved the settlement at a hearing Tuesday.
Class members who make claims on the $14.4-million settlement can expect to receive between $17.50 and $150 each, depending on how many people submit a claim for the settlement money, he said.
The agreement covers eligible residents of Canada except those in Quebec, which Garcha said is about nine million people.
The settlement process took a couple of years, with Apple agreeing to a “compromise” without admitting any wrongdoing, Garcha said.
Going to trial rather than settling could've taken “a long period of time,” he said.
