deliver?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the question at the heart of a $250 million settlement involving Apple and its much-hyped AI rollout. <\/p>\n<p>The tech giant has agreed to pay certain iPhone users\u2014without admitting fault\u2014after being accused of overselling features under its \u201cApple Intelligence\u201d banner.<\/p>\n<p>Buyers of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 claimed they were promised cutting-edge AI upgrades, including a smarter, more capable Siri. <\/p>\n<p>But according to the lawsuit, those features either didn\u2019t exist\u2014or weren\u2019t ready when the phones hit the market.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyers didn\u2019t hold back: \u201cApple promoted AI capabilities that did not exist\u2026 if ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tim Cook in 2024 talking about the abilities of AI in Apple products.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI Hype Risks Rise<\/h2>\n<p>Apple, for its part, says the dispute centered on just \u201ctwo additional features\u201d and chose to settle to stay focused on innovation. <\/p>\n<p>In practical terms, eligible US customers could receive between $25 and $95.<\/p>\n<p>But zoom out for a second\u2014this isn\u2019t just about refunds.<\/p>\n<p>With rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic pushing the boundaries of AI, the pressure is on. <\/p>\n<p>Even CEO Tim Cook has faced criticism over whether Apple is falling behind.<\/p>\n<p>So here\u2019s the bigger question: in the race for AI dominance, is hype becoming just as powerful\u2014and risky\u2014as the technology itself?<\/p>\n<p><a
