Apple agrees to $US250m settlement over delayed AI
Apple will pay $US250 million to settle a lawsuit over misleading customers about delayed Siri AI upgrades.Summary
Apple has agreed to a $US250 million settlement to resolve a lawsuit alleging it misled iPhone buyers regarding delayed artificial intelligence upgrades for its Siri voice assistant. The settlement, which requires court approval, is intended to benefit US customers who purchased specific iPhone models between June 2024 and March 2025. The case centers on Apple's announcement of enhanced Siri capabilities at WWDC in June 2024 and the subsequent delay announcement in March 2025, when the company stated the software was not reliable enough for release. The improved Siri, which is expected to launch in 2026, is designed to access personal information and operate across multiple apps. Apple has not admitted any wrongdoing as part of the agreement.
