Apple's iPhone Settlement Fund Doesn't Have Enough Money For A $92.17 'Batterygate' Check: Report
In a recent development, a settlement check from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) related to the "batterygate" case has reportedly bounced due to insufficient funds.
最近的消息稱，蘋果公司（NASDAQ:AAPL）涉及“電池門”案件的和解支票因資金不足而被退回。
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. The check, issued as part of the settlement, was dated January 3, 2024, and deposited by McNeil on April 1. However, by April 3, McNeil's credit union returned the check unpaid due to insufficient funds.
發生了什麼：《蘋果內幕》週三報道稱，克萊縣的居民之一、涉及蘋果和解的iPhone用戶Desiree McNeil收到了一張92.17美元的支票。這張支票是作爲和解的一部分發行的，日期爲2024年1月3日，McNeil在4月1日存入。然而，到了4月3日，McNeil的信用社因資金不足未能兌現支票。
"They said that the litigants didn't pay it," McNeil stated.
“他們說原告沒有支付，”麥克尼爾稱。
First Coast News confirmed that Apple was indeed issuing such checks. They also reached out to the credit union, which reportedly claimed that the check was now too old.
First Coast News證實，蘋果公司正在發放此類支票。他們還聯繫了信用社，據稱支票現在已經過期。 “根據支票正面的說明，她在4月18日之前都可以兌現，”新聞主播安東尼·奧斯汀報道。信用社將奧斯汀引導到支票的發行方——亨廷頓銀行，然後他又被轉介給了一個帳戶管理員。此事調查正在進行中。
"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.
蘋果公司尚未就此事向Benzinga發表評論。

爲什麼重要：這一事件發生在蘋果公司同意在3月份支付1440萬美元以解決加拿大“電池門”集體訴訟案之後。這起訴訟指控蘋果在iPhone電池老化時祕密減緩了手機速度。
Why It Matters: This incident comes in the wake of Apple's agreement to pay $14.4 million to settle the "Batterygate" class-action lawsuit in Canada in March. The lawsuit accused Apple of secretly slowing down iPhones as their batteries aged.
