Summary
$250 million will go to buyers of iPhone 16 models and some iPhone 15 Pro devices after Apple settled claims it advertised Apple Intelligence features that were unavailable at launch.
The suit centered on enhanced Siri capabilities Apple highlighted when unveiling the phones; the first Apple Intelligence features did not arrive until iOS 18.1, about five weeks later.
Roughly 36 million customers who bought eligible devices between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, could claim payouts of $25 to $95 per device.
June 17, 2026 is the scheduled approval date; Apple must provide customer data within five days, notices will follow, and claims must be filed within 90 days of receiving notice.
Payments are expected after September 2026, after a 45-day notice period and a 60-day distribution window once objections and exclusions are resolved.
