California Court Weighs Apple’s $250 Million Siri Settlement as iPhone Users Await Up to $95

Summary
A California judge held a hearing this week on preliminary approval of Apple’s $250 million settlement over delayed Siri AI features, but has not yet ruled.
If the deal is approved, U.S. buyers of eligible iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 models purchased between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 could file claims for $25 per device, rising to as much as $95.
Apple was sued after previewing personalized Siri features in June 2024, then delaying the launch in March 2025, prompting false-advertising claims tied to Apple Intelligence marketing.
No action is required yet: a claims website is not live, notices would go out about 45 days after preliminary approval, and payouts are unlikely before late 2026 or early 2027.
The settlement process is unfolding as Apple has now unveiled the revamped assistant at WWDC 2026, with testing underway in the iOS 27 developer beta ahead of a broader September release.
