📄 Step-by-Step: How to File Your Apple Settlement Claim

1

Identify your Apple settlement: iPhone battery throttling (older iPhones secretly slowed down), App Store billing disputes, iCloud privacy, or Siri voice data collection.

2

For the iPhone battery throttling settlement ($500M): confirm you owned an iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus, or SE that received the iOS 10.2.1 or 11.2 update before December 21, 2017.

3

Gather your Apple ID (account email) and the serial number of your qualifying iPhone. Serial numbers can be found in Settings → General → About.

4

Visit the official settlement administrator's claim portal linked in the settlement card. Apple's throttling settlement required the device serial number for eligibility verification.

5

Complete the claim form confirming your device ownership and iOS update history. No receipts or repair records are required for the basic iPhone throttling claim.

6

Submit before the deadline shown on the settlement card. Throttling settlement payments of approximately $25 per device were distributed via check or digital transfer.

💡

Proof tip: For the Apple iPhone battery settlement, your device serial number serves as proof of eligibility. You do not need your original purchase receipt. The settlement administrator verifies the serial number against Apple's records to confirm the model and update status.
