IF you’re an Apple user, the tech giant may owe you hundreds of dollars.
Apple has agreed to a $50million settlement for its users after a class-action lawsuit.

If you own an Apple MacBook with one of the infamous butterfly keyboards you could be able to claim.
Owners have two months to claim up to $395 from Apple.
You will need to meet several criteria.
This includes proof that you had to replace either individual keycaps on your butterfly keyboard, or the whole thing.
If you are one of the affected people who can claim from the $50million pot, then it’s likely you’ve had an email already.
The law firm that’s handling the settlement has been emailing people who can claim.
If you think this is you, check your inbox and be aware of the March 6, 2023, deadline to claim.
You can claim on the keyboardsettlement.com website.
The settlement says it includes “all persons and entities in the United States” who bought a MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro with a faulty keyboard between 2015 and 2019.
Payments aren’t expected to roll out until the final approval hearing on March 16.
That hearing could lessen the amount each claimant receives depending on the number of claims.
As it stands, claimants could get up to $50 for having to replace keycaps.
If they replaced a keyboard once then up to $125 can be claimed, and up to $395 is only available if a keyboard had to be replaced more than once.
