Apple Agrees to Pay iPhone Users $250 Million in a Class Action Lawsuit. See if You’re Eligible
Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a lawsuit over the delayed launch of new AI features for Siri.Summary
Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a consumer lawsuit filed in California federal court in 2024 by Peter Landsheft. The case alleged that Apple misled consumers by promoting AI-powered Siri upgrades at its 2024 developer conference as features coming with new iPhones later that year, only for the devices to launch without those capabilities. The plaintiffs argued this caused them to pay a price premium for iPhones. While Apple did not admit to any fault, the settlement resolves claims related to the availability of two additional features. The company stated it released numerous other AI features since the launch of what it calls Apple Intelligence in 2024 and resolved the matter to stay focused on delivering innovative products.
