- Apple opened the claims process for a $250 million settlement resolving allegations that it failed to deliver AI-upgraded Siri features as advertised.
- Eligible claimants include U.S. owners of iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model purchased between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025.
- The estimated payout is $25 per eligible device, but may increase to $95 depending on the number of claims filed.
- The deadline to submit a claim is December 21, 2026.
A class action lawsuit alleged that Apple created a consumer expectation that new AI features previewed during WWDC 2024 would launch with the iPhone 16, but the device launched with a more limited set of capabilities despite being labeled as 'built for Apple Intelligence.'
Apple later delayed the rollout of its AI-upgraded Siri, which only arrived with iOS 27 earlier this month, according to the report.
Apple has denied any wrongdoing in the settlement.
Eligible claimants must be U.S. residents who purchased an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025.
Claimants can file online by entering their name, contact information, and iPhone serial number before the December 21, 2026 deadline.
The settlement website estimates an initial payout of $25 per eligible device, noting that the amount could increase to $95 depending on the total number of claims filed.
