Summary
A U.S. judge preliminarily approved Apple’s $250 million settlement over delayed Siri AI features, clearing the way for eligible iPhone buyers to file claims in the coming months.
U.S. residents who bought an iPhone 15 Pro or any iPhone 16 model between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 may qualify for $25 per device, rising to as much as $95 if claims are fewer than expected.
No settlement website is live yet, and court documents say class members should be notified by email within about 45 days of the preliminary approval.
The lawsuit followed Apple’s 2024 promotion of personalized Siri features that were delayed in March 2025, prompting false-advertising claims.
Apple unveiled the revamped assistant at WWDC 2026, and Siri AI is now in the iOS 27 developer beta ahead of a broader release expected in September for iPhone 15 Pro and newer models.
