  • A $35 million settlement fund will be established due to a class action lawsuit against Apple.
  • The 2019 lawsuit said iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus had audio issues, which Apple denied.
  • Some iPhone customers can receive up to $349.

Apple reached a $35 million settlement with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus users who said their phones had audio problems. That means if you had one of those phones, you could get paid.

The lawsuit — available on the Settlement Administrator website — was first filed in 2019. It argues the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus had audio issues related to the "audio IC chip." The plaintiffs also accused Apple of violating consumer protection laws and breach of warranty.
