'Siri AI' Lawsuit Update: Apple to Pay Owners of These iPhone Models
Key Points:
- Apple agreed to pay $250 million to settle a U.S. class action lawsuit over the delayed launch of Siri AI, with eligible iPhone users potentially receiving up to $95 each.
- The lawsuit stemmed from Apple's false advertising claims after previewing advanced Siri features in June 2024 but delaying their release until 2026.
- Eligibility for the settlement includes U.S. residents who purchased an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 model between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025.
- Claim payouts are currently set at $25 per eligible device but may increase to $95 depending on the total number of claims submitted.
- A settlement website for claims will launch following preliminary court approval, expected in the coming months, with notifications sent about 45 days after approval; no action is required from eligible customers at this time.
