Siri AI Settlement Website Now Live: Apple to Pay Some iPhone Owners
Key Points:
- Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a U.S. class action lawsuit over the delayed launch of Siri AI, with eligible customers receiving estimated payments of $25 per iPhone, potentially up to $95 depending on claims submitted.
- The lawsuit stemmed from Apple advertising new personalized Siri features in mid-2024 that were delayed until June 2026, leading to allegations of false advertising, which Apple denies but settled to avoid trial costs and risks.
- Eligible claimants must reside in the U.S. and have purchased specified iPhone models between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025; claims can be submitted on the settlement website from September 21 to December 21, 2026.
- Payments are expected to begin after a final approval hearing scheduled for February 24, 2027, and claimants will need to provide personal information and device details to file their claims.
- The settlement website provides additional information on eligibility, claim submission, opting out, and other important details for affected customers.
