Apple's Biggest Class Action Settlements

Apple's largest class action settlement is the 2020 "Batterygate" settlement, where Apple agreed to pay $500 million to resolve claims that it secretly slowed down older iPhones (iPhone 6, 7, and 8 models) through iOS software updates without disclosing that the slowdowns were designed to compensate for degraded batteries. Class members received checks of approximately $25 per iPhone. Apple also settled a Siri privacy class action in 2025 for $95 million, resolving claims that Siri accidentally activated and recorded private conversations that were shared with Apple contractors and advertisers. Apple settled MacBook butterfly keyboard defect claims for $50 million, covering 2015–2019 MacBook owners who experienced repeated key failures. Apple continues to face ongoing antitrust litigation over App Store commission practices.

Apple iPhone Throttling (Batterygate) Settlement

The Apple Batterygate class action alleged that Apple secretly throttled the performance of older iPhones — specifically iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPhone SE (1st generation), and iPhone 7 — through iOS updates released in 2016 and 2017. Apple admitted to the slowdowns but claimed they were necessary to prevent unexpected shutdowns from degraded batteries. Plaintiffs argued Apple should have disclosed the throttling practice and offered battery replacements instead. Apple settled for $500 million in 2020. Approximately 3 million eligible users filed claims and received checks of around $25 each. If you owned a qualifying iPhone model but did not file a claim, the deadline has passed — but watch the settlement cards above for any new iPhone performance-related settlements.

Apple Siri Privacy Settlement ($95 Million)

Apple agreed to pay $95 million in January 2025 to settle claims that Siri, Apple's voice assistant, accidentally activated and recorded private conversations without users' knowledge or consent. The recordings were allegedly shared with Apple contractors for quality control reviews and, in some cases, with advertisers who then served targeted ads based on the conversation content. The settlement class covers anyone in the United States who owned a Siri-enabled Apple device between September 17, 2014 and December 31, 2024. Eligible class members may receive up to $20 per Siri-enabled device, with a maximum of five devices per person ($100 maximum). Check the settlement cards above for the current filing deadline and claim form link.

Apple MacBook Keyboard, App Store & Other Settlements

Apple's MacBook butterfly keyboard class action covered 2015–2019 MacBook and MacBook Pro models with the notorious butterfly keyboard mechanism that frequently failed due to dust or debris. Apple settled for $50 million, with eligible class members receiving between $50 and $395 per device depending on repair history. Apple also faces ongoing antitrust litigation over App Store practices — the Epic Games case established that Apple cannot prohibit app developers from linking to external purchase options, though full consumer class action relief is still being litigated. Additional Apple settlements have addressed iCloud storage billing practices, AirPods Pro sound issues, and Apple Watch Series 3 performance degradation after software updates.
