Apple agrees to pay iPhone owners $250 million for not delivering AI Siri

Apple agreed to pay $250 million to settle a U.S. class action over ads that allegedly overstated when Apple Intelligence and an AI-upgraded Siri would be available.

The lawsuit covered buyers of iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Pro models in the U.S. during a specified period.

Plaintiffs said the marketing misled consumers about access to unreleased AI features, creating a risk of false advertising claims.

The settlement underscores the legal and reputational risks of promoting generative AI products before they are ready.
