06 MAY 2022 - A piece from The Mac Observer says:

A six-year-long class-action suit against Apple [regarding] the iPhone 4S is finally being settled. The lawsuit accused the company of knowingly slowing down the device after a iOS 9 update in 2015.

The original suit covered iPhone 4S owners in New York and New Jersey. Apple has set aside $20 million to make the whole thing go away. According to the report:

Users that believe they are eligible for [a payout] must, “submit a declaration under the penalty of perjury that, to the best of their knowledge, they downloaded iOS 9, or any version, thereof, onto their iPhone 4S… their iPhone 4S experienced a significant decline in performance as a result, are entitled to a payment of $15 per applicable device”.

You know, given the time it’s going to take do all of that, it probably isn’t worth the $15. I wonder if anybody thought of that…
