Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class-action lawsuit regarding the delayed launch of AI-powered Siri.Summary
Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class-action lawsuit filed after the company failed to deliver the AI-powered Siri on time. The lawsuit accused Apple of misleading buyers after announcing that the updated Siri would launch in 2024. The settlement, which requires court approval, will cover US buyers of the iPhone 16 lineup and certain iPhone 15 models. Purchasers between June 2024 and March 2025 may be eligible to receive a check for up to $95. However, the settlement does not require Apple to admit fault. Apple spokesperson Marni Goldberg stated the company resolved the matter to stay focused on delivering innovative products. Apple first acknowledged the delay in March 2025, five months after the iPhone 16 release, which was advertised to run Apple Intelligence. The AI-powered Siri is expected to be rolled out this year with iOS 27.
