Apple Opens Claims for $250 Million Siri AI Settlement

Apple has opened a claims process for a $250 million class action settlement resolving a lawsuit that alleged the company engaged in false advertising over delayed Siri AI features. The official settlement website is now live, allowing eligible U.S. customers to submit claims for compensation. The lawsuit centered on Apple's promotion of advanced Siri capabilities powered by Apple Intelligence, which were showcased at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2024. The features, including personal context understanding and onscreen awareness, were heavily marketed but were not available when the iPhone 16 lineup launched in September 2024.

This amount is subject to adjustment based on the total number of valid claims submitted, with a maximum possible payment of $95 per device. To qualify, individuals must be U.S.
