The deadline to join or receive a portion of the $35 million settlement over microphone or audio issues in Apple’s iPhone 7 or 7 Plus is approaching.
The settlement was reached with Apple in a class action lawsuit alleging that the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus experienced audio issues due to the “audio IC” chip, according to the settlement website.
This settlement stems from a 2019 lawsuit filed by Joseph Casillas and De’Jhontai Banks, who reported experiencing issues a year after purchasing their iPhone 7 devices in 2017. Apple denies any wrongdoing and maintains that the devices did not have these issues.
Here’s what you need to know about the settlement and how to determine if you are eligible for compensation.
Who is eligible for part of the settlement?
You are eligible to be included in the settlement and receive a payment if you owned an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus between September 16, 2016, and January 3, 2023, and either reported an issue covered by the settlement to Apple or paid Apple for a repair or replacement related to the settlement.
