According to the source, the iPhone owners joined the collective lawsuit receive about $ 200 compensation. Users who paid for the repair of their iPhone will be able to get up to $ 350. These payments take place within the framework of the agreement for the total amount of B, which Apple agreed to allocate to resolve a collective claim. The term of accession to the collective lawsuit has expired last summer, so not all owners of problem -based iPhone will be able to receive compensation. It is curious that Apple did not recognize any offenses and rejected the charges, but agreed to a settlement agreement.
According to the manufacturer, the problem with the sound in the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus was manifested due to an audio chip defect. Because of this, the sound quality worsened, including during Facetime calls and interaction with other applications. Probably, all participants in the proceedings will receive payments soon.
