- Apple reached a $250 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit regarding false advertising of its artificial intelligence capabilities with its virtual assistant Siri.
- The lawsuit alleged that Apple promoted Siri features that were not yet available when it introduced the iPhone 16 in 2024, leading consumers to purchase the devices under false pretenses.
- The settlement covers about 37 million iPhone 16 models and specific iPhone 15 Pro models sold in the United States between June 2024 and March 2025.
- Eligible iPhone owners may receive a cash payment of at least $25 per device, with the total reaching up to $95 depending on the number of claims and other factors.
- Apple’s AI enhancements have been delayed despite significant consumer expectations, causing dissatisfaction among buyers who were misled about the availability of the promised features.
- The lawsuit highlights Apple’s struggle to keep up with tech rivals, particularly Google and Samsung, in advancing AI technology.
- If approved by a judge, this settlement will rank among the largest ever for Apple.
- Apple still plans to release the promised Siri upgrade this year, likely at its upcoming annual developer conference.
