If you live in the US, and you have or have previously owned an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and/or iPhone SE that ran iOS 10.2.1 or later, and/or an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus that ran iOS 11.2 or later, before December 21, 2017, and you have had issues related to “Batterygate”, today is your lucky day.

A website has been set up where those who have been affected by “battery gate” can submit a claim or review their other options including excluding themselves from the lawsuit to retain the ability to sue Apple individually over the matter.

All claims must be submitted online or received by letter mail by October 6, 2020, or else you won’t get paid. Speaking of being paid the total payout is going to fall between $310 million and $500 million. That works out to about $25 per affected owner. Which is about the cost of a battery for one of these iPhones.

Let’s see if similar programs appear in other places on the planet in the coming weeks and months.
