That is itpart of a settlementthe tech giant agreed after they were sued for violating their contracts with users. The class action lawsuit stems from the company's iCloud storage. Although they offer 5GB of space for free,iPhone and iPad ownersthose who need more will have to pay at least $0.99 per month for a subscription. It turns out that the company may have stored this data on third-party servers, which would be a breach of contract. Rather than fight the charges in court, the company has decided to settle for $14.8 million, although it denies wrongdoing.
So what does that mean? Anyone who paid for an iCloud subscription between September 16, 2015 and January 31, 2016 will likelyowes money to Apple. If you are one of those people, you don't even have to do anything to get paid. If you have a US mailing address associated with your iCloud subscription, payment will automatically go to the Apple account associated with it. If you are no longer a member, you will receive a check. By accepting the settlement, you give upright to sue Applefor this alleged violation, but you can always opt out before May 23 if you'd rather take them to court.
Nothing is official yet: a final approval hearing will take place on August 4. At this time, there is no information on how much each person will receive or when the payments will occur. You can learn more about the settlementher.
Is the Apple security alert real? No, the Apple security alert is not real. Apple doesn't really send security warnings, so every instance you see of this on your macOS or iOS device is a scam.
Apple will never use a pop-up to warn you that your iPhone is infected. Don't click on the pop-up or call any numbers on it. Security experts warn that you shouldn't even tap on an "X" or "close" button if one of these scam alerts includes them. Clicking on these ads will usually send you to a phishing site.
If you visit a website and see a message pop up informing you that your device is infected by a virus, you should immediately exit the website. The pop-up message is a scam hoping to scare you into installing malware on your device under the guise of helping it become more secure.
The best way to know if you have an iPhone virus is to check for the following signs: unfamiliar or crashing apps, lots of Safari pop-ups, unusual charges or data usage, a rapidly draining battery, or a consistently hot phone. As your device ages, you may notice a decrease in speed or battery life.
A few specific symptoms to look out for are: spiking data usage, poor battery performance, frequent pop-up ads, and app crashes. Devices that have viruses or other malware on them act strange and are usually slow. They basically behave unexpectedly.
