What Happened: Desiree McNeil, a resident of Clay County and one of the iPhone users included in Apple's settlement received a check for $92.17, Apple Insider reported on Wednesday.

发生了什么：《苹果内幕》周三报道称，克莱县的居民之一、涉及苹果和解的iPhone用户Desiree McNeil收到了一张92.17美元的支票。这张支票是作为和解的一部分发行的，日期为2024年1月3日，McNeil在4月1日存入。然而，到了4月3日，McNeil的信用社因资金不足未能兑现支票。
"They said that the litigants didn't pay it," McNeil stated.
“他们说原告没有支付，”麦克尼尔称。

First Coast News证实，苹果公司正在发放此类支票。他们还联系了信用社，据称支票现在已经过期。 “根据支票正面的说明，她在4月18日之前都可以兑现，”新闻主播安东尼·奥斯汀报道。信用社将奥斯汀引导到支票的发行方——亨廷顿银行，然后他又被转介给了一个账户管理员。此事调查正在进行中。
"According to the front of the check she had until April 18th before it would become void," news anchor Anthony Austin reported. The credit union directed Austin to the check's issuer, Huntington Bank, who then referred him to an account administrator. The investigation is ongoing.
