Apple settlement could mean a payout for some iPhone owners
Key Points:
- Apple agreed to a $250 million class action settlement over allegations that it falsely advertised AI capabilities on certain iPhone models, including delays in integrating AI and Siri features.
- Eligible U.S. customers who purchased an iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, may claim compensation ranging from $25 to $95 per device.
- Claimants must submit a valid claim form by December 21, 2026, confirming their original purchase and expectation of AI features, with claims rejected if incomplete or submitted late.
- Payments will be issued via physical or digital check after final court approval, with a hearing scheduled for February 24, 2027, to determine the settlement's fairness and address any objections.
- Businesses that purchased eligible devices can also submit claims, but resale purchasers are ineligible for compensation.
