Another day, another chance to cash in on Apple screwing over iPhone users with a class action suit that applies to Canadian users.
Let’s be honest, iPhone users are no stranger to issues that could’ve been avoided. Apple has been embroiled in a number of class action lawsuits that have cost the company millions, including one that could net older iPhone users up to $349 per user.
Now, Canadian users can take advantage of their nefarious business practices. Just follow the steps below to see if you’re eligible for a payout.
Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 Canadian Settlement Explained
Apple has settled a class action lawsuit to the tune of $14.4 million. Brought by the British Colombia Supreme Court in 2018 and finally settled this January, the class action states that Apple purposefully provided software updates that would throttle the performance of devices.
Unlike some class action lawsuits that only pay a few bucks, this one could actually net iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 users a solid payout, with up to $150 available to those that are eligible.

Who Is Eligible for iPhone Settlement in Canada?
For starters, it’s important to note that this settlement is only eligible for Canadian citizens, so if you’re hoping to get a piece of the action and you live in the US, the UK, or anywhere else, you’re out of luck.
Here are the other requirements for eligibility to take advantage of the iPhone settlement:
- Canadian citizen as of June 15, 2023 (Quebec excluded)
- Owned or previously owned iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7 and/or 7 Plus
- Device ran iOS 10.2.1 or later prior to December 21, 2017
If you’re from Quebec, have no fear. There is a separate class action lawsuit for those users, so you still have a chance to get the payout from another settlement.
