Apple<\/strong> sold its latest iPhones as the beginning of a smarter, more personal era. Now, some of the customers who bought into that promise could be in line for a payout after the company agreed to a proposed $250 million settlement over claims tied to delayed Siri artificial intelligence features.<\/p>\n

The class-action lawsuit, filed in federal court in Northern California, accused Apple <\/strong>of misleading buyers by promoting enhanced Siri features that were not yet available when certain iPhones<\/strong>went on sale. Apple has denied wrongdoing, and the settlement still needs court approval before payments can begin.<\/p>\n

At the center of the case is Apple Intelligence<\/strong>, the company\u2019s major AI push announced in 2024. Plaintiffs claimed Apple<\/strong>\u2019s marketing made consumers believe a more advanced version of Siri would be available sooner than it was, influencing purchases of newer devices.<\/p>\n

\u201cApple has reached a settlement to resolve claims related to the availability of two additional features,\u201d an Apple <\/strong>spokesperson told CBS News. \u201cWe resolved this matter to stay focused on doing what we do best, delivering the most innovative products and services to our users.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who may qualify for the Apple payout?<\/h2>\n

The proposed settlement covers U.S. customers who purchased an iPhone 16 model, iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025<\/strong>. Court filings cited by multiple outlets estimate that about 37 million devices could be covered.<\/p>\n

Eligible customers are expected to receive notice by email or mail if the settlement is approved. A settlement website is also expected to launch with claim instructions, eligibility details and a phone number for questions.<\/p>\n

The initial payment is expected to be $25 per eligible device. Depending on the number of valid claims submitted and other factors, that amount could rise or fall, but it cannot exceed $95 per device under the proposed terms.<\/p>\n
