Apple To Pay $250m In Siri Lawsuit — Who Qualifies And How Much You Could Get
Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a lawsuit over false Siri advertising, with eligible US buyers receiving between $25 and $95.Summary
Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class-action lawsuit accusing the company of falsely advertising Siri's AI capabilities during the iPhone 16 launch. The settlement, filed for preliminary approval in May 2026, covers approximately 36 million devices sold between June 2024 and March 2025, including the iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, and the iPhone 16 lineup. Eligible US buyers could receive between $25 and $95 per device, depending on the number of claims filed. The lawsuit alleges that Apple promoted features, such as complex in-app task handling and personal context understanding, that did not exist at the time of purchase and would not be available for years. Apple is not admitting any wrongdoing. The settlement also covers legal fees and administrative costs. While this resolves the consumer lawsuit, Apple faces additional legal challenges, including a separate class action from South Korea's National Pension Service alleging misleading AI claims caused shareholder losses.
