In another Apple lawsuit, the iPhone maker Apple has to pay its customers $25 million, and you might be eligible for a claim. If you used the Apple Family Plan between 2015 and 2019, submit the claim form.
The Apple Lawsuit
Apple has a feature called the Family Plan, which lets Apple users share apps with family members. This means an App, one user purchased can be used for free with another user if they are in the family plan together. However, the App developers have the option to opt out of this feature. This means that not all Apps can be shared within the Family Plan. This is the main crux of the lawsuit.
What does this claim mean in the Apple lawsuit settlement?
It means you might be eligible to claim as a part of the settlement. But there are three options you can choose. According to the website, it states:

What are other options other than claiming a part of Apple’s lawsuit settlement?
If you submit a claim, you forfeit the right to sue for this matter in the future.
