THE CRUNCH
Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging it failed to deliver promised AI upgrades to Siri. Eligible iPhone owners in the US who purchased an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, can now file a claim on the settlement website. Claimants can receive an estimated $25 per eligible device, though the payout may increase,
The settlement resolves claims that Apple marketed Siri as an AI assistant but delivered a product that did not meet those expectations. To file a claim, users must provide their name, contact information, and the serial number of their device. The payout amount is not fixed and depends on the total number of claims filed, with a maximum of $95 per device.
This development highlights the growing scrutiny of AI marketing claims and the financial consequences for companies that overpromise on capabilities. It also serves as a reminder for consumers to review settlement notices for products they have purchased, as similar compensation opportunities may arise in the future.
