Listen Up, iPhone 7 or 7 Plus Users in the U.S who experienced audio issues with your phone between September 16, 2016 and January 3, 2023 - you may be eligible for legal compensation if you "paid Apple out of pocket" for repairs or "complained about the issue" and did not pay Apple for a repair.
PAYOUT AMOUNTS - Under the guidelines of the $35 Million Class Action Settlement, class members with valid claims can receive a payment of at least $50 and up to $349 if they paid Apple out-of-pocket for repairs. Those who did not pay Apple for repairs, but complained about or reported audio issues with their phone will receive payment of up to $125.
Apple will use their repair records to verify claims, therefore no proof of repair is needed to file a claim.
