Totally forgot it about it from last year, just got it today for $251, exactly what I paid 5 years ago. It just helped pay for my 6+, love Apple
Remind me, what was the law suit for? I had the 3GS but don't remember this.

What's the implication of this? Weren't they still checking for liquid damage in iPhone 4 and on?
But, wow, $251 is a lot for a class action lawsuit where plaintiffs usually get a few dollars whereas lawyers get millions.
Yeah there was a problem with false positives of water damage indicators and Apple refusing to service it and 3M knowledged the problem and did a recall, Apple still didn't care so they got sued. And I know that's a lot, I remember reading last year it was suppose like $55 only.
I don't think owning a 3GS (or any of the earlier models for that matter) automatically make you a class action plaintiff.
Hm, I had 7 3GS' replaced under warranty by Apple, I suppose I got my money's worth even without a settlement check lol
I got the email to opt into the lawsuit last year or the year before but I decided against it. Im not a big fan of being part of suing a company that tries to do so much for their customers.
I just received a check as well but I never agreed or signed up for it at all. I do vaguely remember getting a letter but I threw it out. I get so much junk mail I just assumed that it was garbage. So I'm guess it's a legit check?
What? Apple are in business to make a profit out of their customers. I must have missed the memo about them being a charity...
No i didnt, but i once got a check from a vitamin company class action lawsuit for a whopping $1.23
I got 2 checks today..1 for 251.xx and the other for $122.xx..the deadline to submit a claim for the settlement was October 2013.. It wasn't just the iPhone 3g it was iPhone and iPod various models etc that had warranty extended due to water damage sticker.
I wonder if I'll get anything, then. My 3G was denied service way back when for the reason listed in the article. Here's to hoping!
