Apple has authorized the distribution of payments under a $250 million class-action settlement addressing allegations that the company failed to deliver on promises regarding an AI-enhanced version of Siri. Eligible iPhone owners residing in the United States may now submit claims through the official settlement website.
To qualify for compensation, individuals must have purchased an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any device from the iPhone 16 lineup between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025. According to reporting by MacRumors, which first highlighted the filing process, claimants are required to provide their name, contact details, and the serial number of their device.
While the estimated payout is set at approximately $25 per eligible device, the settlement terms indicate this figure could rise to $95 depending on the total volume of claims submitted. The final distribution amount remains contingent on how many qualified users file for compensation.
Class action settlements are usually a drop in the ocean. $25 won’t even cover my therapy for trusting Apple’s marketing again.
Wait, does this apply to regular iPhone 16 models too, or just the Pros? The article says ‘any device from the iPhone 16 lineup’ which is confusing.
Is twenty-five dollars really worth the hassle of filing paperwork? Might just skip it honestly.
Finally, some justice for the Siri AI hype! I bought a 15 Pro right after launch and definitely want my share.
