Apple has agreed to a proposed $250 million settlement in a US class-action suit alleging the company misled buyers about availability of Apple Intelligence (AI) features on iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Pro models. Eligible purchasers who bought those devices between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 can claim roughly $25 per device (adjusted by claim volume, up to about $95). Plaintiffs said Apple’s marketing and WWDC previews created expectations of a fully featured, personalized Siri at launch that did not materialize; Apple rolled out features gradually and delayed the personalized Siri. The case follows scrutiny from the National Advertising Division and signals legal risk for AI marketing claims by major tech firms.
Apple agreed to pay $250 million to settle a U.S. class-action lawsuit alleging it misled customers about the availability of “Enhanced Siri” Apple Intelligence features promised around WWDC 2024. The settlement covers buyers of iPhone 15 and 16 models purchased between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025, with a presumptive per-device payment of $25 that could adjust up to $95 depending on claims. Plaintiffs said Apple’s ads implied the upgraded Siri was available at launch when many features were delayed; the BBB’s National Advertising Division found the claim “available now” misleading. The deal admits no fault and awaits judicial approval; Apple says it will continue rolling out AI features via software updates.
Apple has agreed to a $250 million proposed settlement in a class-action suit alleging it misled buyers about the availability of Apple Intelligence (AI) features at launch. The deal covers U.S. purchasers of all iPhone 16 models and the iPhone 15 Pro bought between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025; eligible claimants can receive about $25 per device (adjustable up to $95 depending on claims). The lawsuit argued Apple’s marketing created reasonable expectations that full Apple Intelligence capabilities would be available at product launch, while devices shipped with limited or absent AI functionality. Apple said it resolved the matter to remain focused on its products and services. The settlement highlights legal and consumer scrutiny around AI feature rollouts by major tech companies.
