Current or former iPhone 6 and 7 users in Canada can now submit a settlement claim for a class action lawsuit that may pay up to $150 to eligible users of affected devices.

 When it was announced last month that British Columbia.  The Supreme Court approved a proposed settlement of up to $14.4 million, many of you wondered when and how to file a claim.

We managed to access one of the affected phones and completed the claim process (without submitting), so we can answer your questions.

 How do I know if I am eligible?

 You must be a resident of Canada as of June 15, 2023 (excluding Quebec) and own an iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7, and/or 7 Plus running iOS 10.2.1  or later before December 21, 2017.

 There is a separate and ongoing class action lawsuit for people living in Quebec.

 In the first step of the claim process, the form will inform you if you are eligible to proceed with the claim, based on your residence and device/iOS version.

How do I file my claim?
 To file a claim, you will need to fill out this form and submit it by September 2.

 You will need to provide your name, mailing address, phone number, email, and the serial number of the iPhone.

You can find the serial number by going to Settings 

 If your device is not in your possession, the barcode can be found on the original phone packaging or receipt or invoice.

 Only one claim may be submitted per eligible iPhone.

 How much will I get? When?
 Under the agreement, you may be entitled to an amount ranging from $17.50 to $150, depending on the number of claimants.

You can also choose to receive payment via email money transfer or check by mail.

 When we went through the claim process, the exact payment date was not mentioned before submission, and Apple denies any wrongdoing allegations.

According to the Canadian iPhone Energy Management lawsuit website, the settlement does not constitute an admission of liability or wrongdoing by Apple.

 The company also denies the allegations made against it.
