Take a bite out of Apple

Apple has agreed to a $250 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company falsely advertised the artificial intelligence capabilities of its Siri virtual assistant. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. federal court, claimed that Apple's marketing campaign for the "Apple Intelligence" software suite promoted features that were not yet available. The settlement covers approximately 37 million devices purchased in the United States between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, including all iPhone 16 models and the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Eligible owners will receive a payment of at least $25 per device, with the potential to receive up to $95 depending on the number of claims filed. Apple stated that the settlement was reached to resolve claims related to the delayed availability of two specific features and to allow the company to focus on delivering innovative products. The company emphasized that it has introduced dozens of features since launching Apple Intelligence, such as Visual Intelligence and Live Translations, and expects to unveil its next Siri upgrade later this year.
