The bounced check that will bring down Apple. (Source: First Coast News)
So much for being the world’s most valuable company. An iPhone “batterygate” settlement check has bounced and allegedly because of insufficient funds.
The key word there, though, is “when.” The check, labeled “In Re Apple lnc Device Performance Litigation,” was dated January 3, 2024, but McNeil deposited it on April 1.
“By April 3rd, my credit union returned the check because for insufficient funds, they said that the litigants didn’t pay it,” said McNeil.
The credit union directed Austin to the check’s issuer, Huntington Bank, who then shuffled him off to some administrator of the account. That’s as far as the hot investigation has led, for now.
