Apple has agreed to settle two separate class action lawsuits with substantial payments. In the first case, the tech giant will pay $35 million to U.S. iPhone 7 users who experienced 'Loop Disease,' a problem that affected the device's audio capabilities, as reported by @omarmoharram21. The issue was widespread enough to warrant a class action suit, which Apple has now decided to settle. In addition to this, Apple is also sending out bonus payments as part of a $95 million AppleCare replacement device settlement. Meanwhile, 3M has started issuing payments to veterans as part of a $6 billion settlement over defective earplugs, which were alleged to have caused hearing damage.
