Some Apple iPhone 7 series owners suffered from a frustrating Loop Disease defect, but users are finally receiving a payout.

The iPhone 7 may be a glimmer in most people’s memories, but it hasn’t been forgotten entirely. In that model’s heyday, many folks experienced odd problems with audio quality and performance that became known as loop disease.

That’s not a bad payday for former iPhone 7 users in 2025. Of course, those payments come from a $35 million settlement that best rewards the attorneys who brought the class action suit forward. The deadline to participate in the class action suit ended last summer.
