Overview
- Apple disclosed Tuesday that it will fund a $250 million settlement for claims it overpromised Apple Intelligence upgrades to Siri that were not ready at launch.
- U.S. buyers of iPhone 16 models and iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max purchased between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 are eligible under the proposed deal.
- Approved claims are expected to pay about $25 per device, with potential payouts up to $95 depending on how many people file, after fees and administration costs.
- Notices inviting claims will go out within roughly 45 days, and applicants will need purchase proof such as a serial number or Apple Account details.
- Apple denies wrongdoing, says it has shipped other AI features since 2024, and executives have said the delayed Siri overhaul will be shown at WWDC in June, while final court approval is slated for mid‑June and related litigation continues.
