Los Angeles Times • • business
Key Points:
- Apple has agreed to a $250-million settlement resolving lawsuits alleging it misled consumers about AI features in certain iPhone models, specifically the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max purchased between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025.
- Eligible U.S. consumers who are original purchasers can claim cash payments starting at $25 per device, potentially increasing to $95 depending on the total number of claims submitted; claims must be filed online by December 21, 2025.
- By participating in the settlement, claimants waive their right to sue Apple over these claims unless they opt out by submitting a request with personal details by the same December 21 deadline.
- The settlement awaits court approval with a hearing scheduled for February 24, 2026, and payments will be processed promptly if no appeals are filed, though delays are possible.
- Apple has denied wrongdoing but settled to resolve multiple class-action lawsuits accusing it of false advertising regarding improvements to its virtual assistant, Siri, amid its ongoing investments in AI technology.
