Apple has agreed to a $250 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit over AI features advertised for certain iPhones, with eligible US customers able to claim up to $95 per device.
The lawsuit alleged that Apple promoted Siri and Apple Intelligence capabilities that were not available when customers purchased their devices. Apple denied the allegations, and the settlement does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing.
Claims opened on September 21, 2026. US residents who originally purchased an eligible iPhone between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, may qualify.
Eligible models include the iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, and 16e.
Qualifying customers are expected to receive an initial payment of $25 per device. Depending on the number of valid claims and other factors, payments could rise to as much as $95 or fall below $25.
The lawsuit focused on advertised AI-powered Siri features, including the ability to understand on-screen information, access personal context, and perform tasks across multiple apps.
Eligible customers have until December 21, 2026, to submit a claim. Payments will not be distributed until the settlement receives final court approval, with a hearing scheduled for February 24, 2027.
