Key Points:
- Apple agreed to a $250 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit alleging it falsely advertised next-generation Siri and AI features for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 series models, which were delayed and did not meet promised timelines.
- Eligible U.S. iPhone owners must have purchased an iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, and not be Apple employees or resellers to claim a share of the settlement.
- Claimants can expect an estimated payout of around $25, which may vary based on legal fees and the total number of claims submitted, with a potential maximum payout of $95.
- To claim, owners must submit their claim through the Smartphone AI Settlement website by December 21, 2026, providing their iPhone serial number for verification; this deadline also applies for opting out of the settlement.
- The court will hold a final hearing on February 24, 2027, to approve the settlement, with payments expected several months afterward, likely after Memorial Day 2027.
