Wondering “What is the deal with,” or “How much will I get paid from” the Apple iCloud storage breach of contract class action settlement?

Now Apple has settled the class action lawsuit, and so if you are a U.S.-based iCloud subscriber who paid for an iCloud subscription at any time between September 16, 2015 and January 31, 2016, you are a member of the class who is to be compensated.
