Is "smartphone***settlement.***" legit for claiming 25$ settlement as an iphone 6/7 user?

Provided you live w/in the area where the case is presented. If someone lives on the east coast then that is an awful lot of travel time which is expensive!!!!!

Travel for what? If you are objecting to the settlement you can ask to appear but it isn’t mandatory. So what are you referring to?

Is there an official response from Apple on this Community Chat about this issue? . Getting too many responses going both ways.

If you click to register it you can look up serial numbers.

Well, I still think it’s probably legit but I just received an email that was obviously phishing related to the settlement. Rather disconcerting.

I'm sure the Law office has a lot to do with the phishing.

ahhh..I see...It's a legit scam..

I think I deserve $25 because my iPhone 7 has been lagging this past year

My phone can barely last 30 minutes I have no space and my phone lags every 10 minutes

Then it’s time to replace the phone.

Only lawyers are making any money. Its ridiculous. But they have to get the bulk of affected people to either sign the form and take the $25 as part of the class action settlement or they need to keep people from doing anything at all which also keeps them by default in the class action because by do nothing they forfeit their right. There is only one way to opt out (if you feel Apple should not pay 90 million plus to a group of lawyers over this and disagree with the lawsuit because its going to be paid by the consumer in the end and you may noy know the full extent of whats defined in the settlement. The lawyers dont want you to opt out ( so even if you think its bs ) so they keep it as vague and laborious as possible. Pretty slimy

I would not want to give anyone legal advice nor suggest you provide any sensitive information to someone with unsavory motives. There will not be a press release for every internal clerical process at the preliminary stages. This is a formal requirement however that the Plaintif is required to contact the affected population to get them to agree to be part of the “class”. They are required to make a concerted reasonable effort (and it is in their full interest to get all of the group to agree but all they are required to push forward is proof that you were notified based on info that Apple has already supplied. They already know the affected serial numbers and have the list of the registered owners last apple ID, they will verify it for you if you cant find the serialnumber but they are also liable if they do not protect that information so they do not give that out without you verifying- this is the legit legal counsel though - And not suggesting if you have a scam letter but in this case you are not providing any data that is sensitive on its own. You are only providing verification for them to know you are you and not someone claiming to be you for $25. There is no request for ss# and if you enter a incorrect response like a name that is not associated with an affected serial number, it just tells you thy have no record, nor do they provide you any additional information if you try and input someones stolen data. But they want your agrrement to accept the deal. You wont get anything now this is just initial step to get everyone to agree.They have to provide that to the court and Apple before they can finalize and then present for signatures. If you do nothing they understand there will be certain amount of people who wont respond and I dont know what is allowed statistically/legally. But if you do nothing and dont sign its no biggie to them if they can show they contacted you. You just dont get $25 and forfit any future right. Its only$25 so its nit worth risking if you feel strongly about the feelin its a scam. So not worth it. But they are ok as long as they get a majority. The problem lies in if they get people to actively opt out. then they have an issue. Why they make that not easy.

But if you dont respond its not an issue for either the plaintiff or defendant. So no one should be risking personal peace of mind if they dont trust verification process ** any means. Again not worth $25. But if you want to opt out you do have to write a letter on your own and mail it to the administrator so they can include thenumber if people who are keeping their legal rights to themselves for whatever reason. And that can be the unknown that makes the agreement less attractive to Apple. They will only accept it if they get everyone to aggree or feel that anyone who does not want to be included will be any probable future litigation threat. They want to shut and close that now whether its frivolous or valid. Thats why they show in the court docket which is public accessible and you have the right to view if you can dig for it or find someone who will, its there. But I posted that and it was removed and I was told it was not techical in natire. I dont want Apple to pay a bunch of lawyers 90million but I am sure they did due diligence to evaluate what they are getting and they want this too. So you have to make a personal choice in the matter or do nothing. There is no ethical or moral obligation and you should not feel pressure that why doing nothing is a decent option if you dont want $25 for it. But doing nothing you have to understand means nit being part of the settlement if or when the details are finalized and signed. THERE is a deadline of Sept 6 though. So you would need to decide by then.

The article explains the settlement but does not provide any indication that the sign-up page on smartphoneperf… is legitimate. It still may be someone else trying to intercept personal information. Until apple confirms that this is the correct place to enter your information, I won’t trust it.

I thought you received an email from the court? I did. I used the link to file. I received no such calls. I have received them in the past before this settlement. Lots of them. And then they stopped. Now I’m getting the ones for my security subscription has gone out of business and press 1 for my refund.

The company doing this has nothing to do with Apple. I have used them for other lawsuit settlements. That is their business.

Coincidence.

More likely there was a problem with their server today, with the backbone, or your email server. If it contains the link that has been repeated here several times it is legitimate. And as has been said, Apple would not leave it up if it was a scam.
