iPhone owners to receive payouts from Apple for ‘batterygate’
iPhone owners to receive payouts from Apple for ‘batterygate’
Some iPhone users are set to receive payouts as part of a controversy over Apple’s battery technology. Owners of older devices who joined a lawsuit over what was termed “batterygate” are set to receive around $65, according to the lawyers behind it. The payments relate to a controversy that erupted in 2017, when users complained that Apple was intentionally limiting the performance of their iPhones. As their devices aged, they found, Apple would place restrictions on how fast the devices could run. Apple said the restrictions were a way of ensuring that older devices could continue to function even as their batteries degraded. The older batteries did not provide reliable or constant power, and so spikes in performance could mean the devices would spontaneously shut down otherwise. But users complained that they had not been told about the change and had no way to turn it off. It also played into a persistent belief that Apple slows down older devices as part of “planned obsolescence” aimed at encouraging people to buy new iPhones – though there is no evidence that is the case. The controversy meant that lawyers brought complaints on behalf of owners of the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus, or the first-generation iPhone SE, in 2018. Now they have achieved success in what they say is “the largest all-cash recovery in a computer intrusion case in history”. The settlement stipulated that Apple would pay at least $310 million to affected customers, which is expected to work out at about $65 each. But users must have signed up before October 2020, when a deadline passed, if they want to receive it, and only those 100 million people who did so will be part of the settlement. Apple has not publicly commented on the proceedings. It had appealed the settlement, but an appeals court in the US has since dismissed that case, allowing the payments to go forward.

Riley Reid once made $12,000 for a single shoot
Riley Reid once made $12,000 for a single shoot
Adult star Riley Reid candidly shared how she made $12,000 for one single porn shoot. When Reid appeared on the Impaulsive podcast a few years back, she opened up to hosts Logan Paul, Mike Majlak and George Janko about her lucrative career. The hosts asked her whether there's good money in the adult industry, to which she replied: "The most I’ve gotten from one day… I think $12,000 for one day on a shoot." She went on to disclaim that the majority of her earnings don't come from her recording sessions. Instead, she has multiple streams of income, including through online platforms. "Like, that’s just from one shoot but I monetise myself in a lot of different ways," she said. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter It comes after the star also opened up about how her job ruined her relationship with her family and caused many issues in her personal life. In an emotional 2020 YouTube video, she said: "A lot of times when people ask me if they should do porn, I tell them no, I tell them that it makes life really hard, it makes dating really hard, it makes your family life really hard, it makes intimacy hard," "If you're putting yourself out there and the world is now judging you, you have to be OK with being shamed every day of your life." Reid went on to say that the abuse she went through halted her in starting a family of her own. "I don't even want to have children because I do porn, because I'm worried [about] the way that people will treat my child," she explained at the time. Reid later welcomed baby Emma with Pasha Petkuns in November 2022. Have your say in our news democracy.
