Latest News About Apple Class Action Lawsuit Canada

Apple-related class actions in Canada have been focused on the “iPhone battery throttling / performance management” allegations, and much of the recent coverage is about settlement timelines and payments.

What’s the latest (recent coverage)

• A Canadian class-action case filed in 2018 against Apple/Apple Canada alleged the company used iOS performance “mitigation” features and that defects affected some iPhones (including battery-related performance issues).[1]
• Reporting from 2024 indicates Apple agreed to a settlement in the range of about CAD $11.1 million to $14.4 million, with potential individual payments depending on approved claims.[7][1]
• In January 2024, coverage said a B.C. Supreme Court judge was set to decide whether to approve the settlement, and that consumers would receive payments ranging from CAD $17.50 to CAD $150 depending on how many claims are successful.[2]

What you should check (to see if anything changed recently)

1. Whether any court approval or claim/opt-out deadlines were updated (deadlines can be crucial for eligibility).[1]
2. The settlement’s official instructions for how claims are submitted and what evidence is required. (Recent articles note the settlement depended on claims submitted.)[2][7]

Quick clarification

When you say “latest news,” do you mean:

• the iPhone battery/performance settlement specifically, or
• a different Apple class action in Canada (e.g., iPods, services, privacy, App Store, etc.)?

If you tell me which one (and ideally any province), I can summarize the most relevant recent updates.
