If you're an App Store developer, you might be eligible for a payment from Apple as high as $30,000.

There are about 67,000 developers who are eligible for the settlement. Those that earned less than $100 could receive at least $250, and those who earned $1,000,000 could receive $30,000. As previously reported, the payments will break down as follows:
