According to the website’s FAQ, “Apple will provide a cash payment of approximately $25 per eligible device.” But before getting too excited about getting money from the company, keep in mind that Apple has agreed to pay a maximum of $500 million as part of the settlement. Depending on how many people file for a claim, you may get less than $25.

It’s also worth noting you can exclude yourself from the settlement. However, as The Verge points out, the only reason to do that is if you plan to sue Apple directly about the issue. Whatever decision you make, you have until October 6th to submit a claim. At that point, you can expect payment at some point after December 4th. That’s when a judge will sign off on the settlement, provided there aren’t any appeals. 

The iPhone throttling debacle dates back to 2017 when Apple admitted it intentionally down older devices with aging batteries to prevent unexpected shutdowns. As an apology for its lack of transparency around the issue, the company temporarily reduced the price of out-of-warranty battery replacements from $79 to $29. Approximately 11 million iPhone owners took advantage of the discount. The significant uptick in battery replacements ultimately led to Apple revising its first quarter 2019 earnings. 

If your iPhone 6s is relatively new and simply refused to switch on one day, you can check its serial number on the program’s official page and see if it’s eligible for free repair. Take note that the company says it “may restrict or limit repair to the original country or region of purchase,” so you may be out of luck if you bought your device overseas. If your phone is eligible for free repair, though, and you already paid to have it fixed, you can contact Apple for a refund. The program will cover all affected phones for two years after purchase, so the program will likely be available until 2021.

The move leaves the iPhone SE, 6S and 6S Plus as the oldest handsets to support iOS 13. In truth, it was somewhat surprising that Apple supported iOS 12 on the 5S in particular, given the device’s age, though that version of the OS was more of a performance upgrade. Still, the 5S, 6 and 6 Plus will miss out on the likes of a system-wide dark mode and Apple’s own swipeable keyboard, among other iOS 13 features.
