If you previously owned an old iPhone, there's another chance to get some money from a class-action lawsuit that has nothing to do with the Biometric Privacy Act, but you're almost out of time.

According to the details from SmartPhoneSettlement.com, the Tabak, et al. v. Apple Inc. lawsuit has to do with certain audio issues that are related to the “audio IC” chip. Apple has denied any wrongdoing and says the devices never had these issues.
