Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
How much will each iPhone owner get from the Apple Intelligence settlement? The notice sets the payment at $25 per eligible device, adjusted pro rata depending on how many valid claims are filed, how many devices are claimed and what the court awards in attorneys' fees, service awards and administration costs. The per-device amount can rise to a maximum of $95 if claims are low, or fall below $25 if claims are high. Each eligible iPhone is paid separately, so a household that bought three covered phones can file three claims. The final figure will not be known until all claims are processed.
Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at Open Class Actions.
