iPhone 4 user? You have $15 or a free case headed your way!
You may have already forgotten it ever since Siri and the iPhone 4S came out, but the iPhone 4 was originally plagued with signal loss issues when it first launched. This oversight — dubbed "Antennagate" by some — spawned a class action lawsuit that was just recently settled. So what does that mean for you, exactly? If you're a U.S. resident who ever bought an iPhone 4, you can claim either $15 in cash or a free bumper case from Apple in the near future.

The company offered free cases to everyone affected by the issue back in 2010 — if you took advantage of it, you can't make a claim anymore. But if you didn't, then you can expect an email from Apple alerting you of the settlement before April ends. We also suggest bookmarking the settlement's official website, which is currently empty but will soon contain information on how you can file a claim for up to 120 days following April 30.
