Apple Reaches $250 Million Settlement Over Claims It Misled People on A.I.

Apple agreed to settle a $250 million lawsuit concerning claims that it misled consumers about its AI capabilities.
The settlement resolves multiple class action lawsuits filed in 2024, alleging Apple oversold features of its AI system, Apple Intelligence.
Consumers who bought specific iPhone models between June 2024 and March 2025 are eligible for up to $95 per device.
Apple denied any wrongdoing as part of the settlement, maintaining its focus on innovation and product delivery.
Apple Intelligence, first teased in June 2024, wasn’t fully operational at launch, leading to consumer backlash.
Several promised AI features like notification summaries and upgraded Siri were either delayed or not delivered properly.
The settlement highlights Apple’s challenges in the AI race, particularly its reliance on Google’s Gemini to power future AI products.
In January 2025, Apple announced it would use Google’s AI technology and retired its head of AI, John Giannandrea.
