The law firms are now seeking authorization from the Quebec Superior Court.
www.iphoneincanada.caApple-related class-action lawsuits in Canada have recently focused on alleged battery/“slowing down” issues on older iPhones, with court steps around a settlement and (in some reports) opt-out deadlines tied to the same matter.
What’s been in the news
- B.C. iPhone class action settlement (battery/performance issue): Reports say Apple agreed to a settlement amount reported in the range of about $11.1 million to $14.4 million, and that Canadians had an opt-out deadline tied to the process.[1][4]
- Court approval stage (B.C. Supreme Court): Coverage around the B.C. proceedings describes a judge deciding whether to approve the settlement, with payouts described as between $17.50 and $150 depending on approved claims.[3]
Quick note
If you tell me which province you’re in (e.g., Ontario vs. Quebec vs. British Columbia) and whether you’re asking about iPhone batteries/performance or a different Apple product (like iPods), I can narrow to the most relevant Canada case and summarize the latest procedural status for that specific matter.
