Apple iPhone Battery legal case / group action

jed_2

Just seen this ad on instagram regarding a group legal claim for the battery issue that affected the iPhone 6 and SE. 

I’m fairly sure I did own both of these but not sure about putting my details into this website? Does anybody know if it is a legitimate website regarding this?

 Anything you see on Facebook is quite probably a scam.

What about Instagram where the OP saw this ad? Meta and therefore scamfull?

@jed_2 so you're not even 100% sure you even owned this phone, so quite clearly did not have a problem with it otherwise you would have remembered.

Please apply some common sense... 

As this is a consumer rights forum, if you DID own this phone and DID have a problem with the battery, then at the time of ownership you could have raised a claim with the retailer under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for the phone not being fit for purpose. Your refund would have been reduced to reflect the amount of use you had, or they could have offered you a replacement or repair.

Did you take up any issues with the retailer with this phone that you might have owned?

I think we are at the point where someone saying "I read this on Facebook/Instagram/X/TikTok" and believing what they read should pretty much instantly disqualify them from being deemed competent.

I owned both, in fact I still have the SE 

Not doing anything about. It as the only ones to benefit from it are the lawyers as usual 

Incredulous

Like you, I was very sceptical, so googled around.  Seems it is genuine.  There was an article on sky news in 2023 https://news.sky.com/story/owned-an-older-iphone-you-could-get-a-payout-from-uk-lawsuit-which-claims-devices-were-throttled-12998076

And another on the BBC dated 2024 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-67911517

It seems it's still ongoing.

Consumer voice is a legit organisation.

I was about to say the same- there was certainly a bit of a bru-ha-ha about it a while back. I remember the story because I had an iphone 6 that died of battery failure.

Could.

You probably won't, but you could.

And if you did, it won't be enough to pay for a new phone. It probably won't be enough to pay for a new phone case.
