The whole story went like this. Certain iPhone models, especially the iPhone 6 and 6s lines, had weak batteries that could not generate enough power to keep running when a power-intensive task was attempted on these devices. As a result, iPhones were crashing left and right. Since Apple didn’t tell its customers what iOS 10.2.1 was designed to do, iPhone users didn’t know why their phones were getting slower after installing the update.
One good thing came from Batterygate, the Battery Health feature on the iPhone
Lawsuits ensued and knowing how slow the U.S. legal system runs, it should be no surprise that it wasn’t until this past January that Apple started paying class action members $92.17 for each successful claim. Even though Apple agreed to put $500 million into the fund, after the lawyers got their beans, only $310 million was left for the Plaintiffs.
