Millions of iPhone owners just became eligible for a surprise cash payout from Apple
iPhone owners may receive payouts from a $250 million settlement over alleged deceptive AI advertising.Summary
A $250 million class action settlement has been reached between Apple and plaintiffs alleging the company violated consumer protection laws by falsely advertising its "Apple Intelligence" and Siri AI features. The lawsuit claims Apple marketed these features before they existed, deceiving consumers into purchasing iPhones. Apple denies any wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to focus on innovation. Eligible U.S. consumers who purchased an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, may receive up to $95 per device. Approximately 37 million iPhone owners qualify for the payout, which will be distributed based on the percentage of approved claims filed on a future settlement website.
