Apple agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class action lawsuit accusing it of false advertising and unfair competition after the personalized Siri features promoted during the iPhone 16 launch in September 2024 were significantly delayed.<ref name="engadget-siri">[https://www.engadget.com/apple-will-pay-250-million-for-failing-to-deliver-its-ai-powered-siri-on-time-210520673.html Engadget — Apple will pay $250 million for failing to deliver its AI-powered Siri on time]</ref><ref name="macrumors-siri">[https://www.macrumors.com/2026/05/05/apple-class-action-siri-settlement/ MacRumors — Apple to Pay $250 Million to Settle Class Action Over Delayed Siri Features]</ref> | |||
A smarter, Apple Intelligence-powered version of Siri was showcased at WWDC 2024 and heavily promoted in advertising when the iPhone 16 launched. After delaying the Siri Apple Intelligence features in March 2025, Apple pulled its ads, but they had been running for several months. The lawsuit alleged Apple violated consumer protection laws by misleading consumers about the actual capabilities of Apple Intelligence, causing them to purchase devices with features that did not exist or were materially misrepresented. Apple was not found guilty of wrongdoing; the company said it settled to minimize legal fees and focus on products.<ref name="engadget-siri" /> | |||
The settlement provides per-device payments of $25 to $95 for eligible U.S. purchasers of iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and iPhone 16 models bought between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025.<ref name="macrumors-siri" /> | |||
