If you’re Canadian and you were affected by “Battery Gate”, I have some news for you. A court in BC has approved a settlement related to this where Apple will pony up $14.4 million CAD to make this issue go away. More information on how to submit a claim will be shared on the settlement website, but here’s the TL:DR in terms of who this covers:

• You are a current or former resident of Canada (excluding Quebec)
• You have to have owned a iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and/or iPhone SE with iOS 10.2.1 or later installed or downloaded, and/or an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 11.2 or later installed or downloaded, before December 21, 2017.
• You need the serial number of said phone.

Now as usual for these sorts of things, Apple denies that it did anything wrong. And to be frank, $14.4 million CAD is a rounding error for Apple. But “Battery Gate” is done and dusted in Canada.

And I guess that it goes without saying that if you were affected by “Battery Gate”, you need to dig up that serial number and make sure you get your share of this.
