A nationwide class action lawsuit was filed against Apple in December 2003. The plaintiffs alleged the company misrepresented the playtime and lifespan of the iPod's battery.
Eligible members of the class action lawsuit include customers who bought a first, second or third generation iPod on or before May 31, 2004 and experienced battery failure.
First generation iPods have a mechanical scroll wheel that physically turns while the second generation version of the digital music player features a touchweel that doesn't physically turn. The third generation iPod has a touchwheel that doesn't turn, as well as a dock connector.
According to the settlement, benefits vary according to the type of iPod purchased and range from an extension of the one-year limited warranty on the iPod to a $50 store credit to a $25 cash payment, the notice said. As part of the settlement, purchasers of third generation iPods are also eligible to get a brand new iPod.
