Apple agrees to pay a 39 billion won settlement in a class action over delays in developing AI features

Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a U.S. class-action lawsuit over delayed Siri AI features.

The case centers on 2024 promotions for Apple Intelligence and advanced Siri functions that were not yet available on sold devices.

U.S. consumers who bought affected devices may be eligible for payments, while customers outside the U.S. are excluded.

The settlement underscores the legal and financial risks of marketing AI capabilities before they are ready.
