Siri Settlement Approved: Apple to Pay Owners of Some iPhone Models
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple agreed to a $250 million settlement in May to resolve a U.S. class action lawsuit over the delayed launch of Siri AI, with eligible iPhone users potentially receiving up to $95 each.
- A judge has given preliminary approval to the settlement as of July 17, but the official settlement website and claim submission process are not yet available and may take months to launch.
- The lawsuit stemmed from Apple’s advertising of new Siri AI features in June 2024, which were delayed from their planned release in March 2025, leading to allegations of false advertising.
- Eligible claimants must be U.S. residents who purchased an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 model between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025; exact claim requirements will be detailed once the settlement website is live.
- Notifications to eligible class members are expected within about 45 days after preliminary approval, but individuals meeting the criteria can still submit claims even if they do not receive direct notification.
