Apple $53M settlement: Apple has agreed to pay out a settlement to customers who alleged that the company denied warranty claims unfairly.

Faulty indicators showed iPhones and iPods were exposed to water, leading to employees to deny customers’ warranty claims, reports Bloomberg. Those part of the class-action lawsuit could be eligible for $300, depending on which model they owned.

About 153,000 customers were part of the lawsuit, according to the Wall Street Journal. Representatives for Apple and attorneys representing the customers didn’t return requests for comment.
