Apple Settles Siri Lawsuit for $250 Million
Apple has agreed to a $250 million settlement over misleading claims about Siri's capabilities. iPhone 16 and 15 Pro owners may receive up to $95 per device—find out how to claim yours.
Settlement Details
Apple is set to pay $250 million to settle a class action lawsuit that accused the tech giant of misleading consumers regarding its Apple Intelligence features. This settlement applies to U.S. customers who purchased the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Pro between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025.
Eligible claimants can receive $25 for each qualifying device, with potential adjustments based on claim volume. The lawsuit argued that Apple's marketing created a false expectation about the availability and functionality of its AI features, which were significantly limited at launch.
Consumer Expectations vs. Reality
During the June 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple showcased several AI enhancements, including a more personalized Siri. However, upon the iPhone 16's release in September, many of these promised features were absent, leading to consumer disappointment. Apple has since begun rolling out some of these features gradually, but the delay has raised questions about the company's transparency in advertising.
For those affected, it's crucial to understand the claims process to ensure you receive your compensation.
