Apple has reached a $250 million settlement over a class-action lawsuit filed over claims it misled customers regarding Siri’s AI capabilities. Eligible customers can receive a payment of up to $95.The settlement covers approximately 37 million devices, including all iPhone 16 models and some iPhone 15 models. Customers who are eligible to file a claim will be notified via email or mail.In March 2025, a California man named Peter Landsheft initially filed the lawsuit, claiming that Apple in 2024 “launched a pervasive marketing campaign across all media platforms to promote its latest iPhone 16 model, spotlighting what it branded as the groundbreaking ‘Apple Intelligence’ suite of features, including significant AI-driven enhancements to Siri.”The lawsuit alleged that Apple “touted these AI capabilities as the cornerstone of the new iPhone’s appeal, promising consumers a product that would redefine smartphone use in the new AI economy,” while flooding various media platforms with ads and causing “unprecedented excitement in the market” in an attempt to persuade customers to upgrade their devices.“But Apple also knew none of it was true,” the lawsuit said. “Recently, under mounting pressure from outraged consumers and industry scrutiny, Apple was forced to acknowledge that the heralded Apple Intelligence features, including the Siri enhancements that fueled the greatest consumer excitement, did not exist then and do not exist now.”Apple “violated consumer protection laws when it advertised its new generation of iPhones as a breakthrough in artificial intelligence (‘AI’), including significant enhancements to Siri, iPhone’s digital assistant (‘Enhanced Siri’),” the settlement motion said.TODAY.com has reached out to Apple for comment about the settlement, but has not heard back.The settlement states that Apple “moved to dismiss" the lawsuit in September 2025, while adding that the company “also argued that its marketing was not misleading because near-two dozen Apple Intelligence features had already been delivered and because Apple said from the outset that these features would be delivered over time and continue to evolve.”Both parties have agreed to settle the case. The agreement must now be approved by a judge, with a hearing set for June 17.Who is eligible to receive a payment?The settlement noted that consumers who bought the following devices can receive payment:iPhone 16, iPhone 16e, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPh...
