Canadian iPhone users could be part of a new class-action lawsuit proposed against Apple, accusing the brand of falsely advertising Apple Intelligence features.<\/p>\n

On May 11, Consumer Law Group filed the class-action lawsuit against Apple Inc. and Apple Canada Inc. in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice over claims of \u201cdeceptive marketing and advertising of the Apple iPhone 16 suite of products.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to iPhone 16 users, the lawsuit applies to Canadians who purchased certain iPhone 15 models. A separate lawsuit was filed on behalf of Quebec residents.<\/p>\n

The proposed lawsuit comes after Apple agreed in May to settle a similar U.S. class-action lawsuit for at least US$250 million.<\/p>\n

The allegations<\/h2>\n

According to the Statement of Claim, Apple began promoting its latest iPhone products in the summer of 2024, emphasizing its Apple Intelligence range of features, including a more advanced AI-powered Siri.<\/p>\n

However, the lawsuit alleges that the company \u201cconvinced customers to purchase either or both of these iPhones on the basis of Artificial Intelligence features that were not actually available at the time of the advertisement, or at the time of purchase, and some of which remain unavailable today.\u201d<\/p>\n

It also alleges that Apple failed to disclose the fact that several features were unavailable at the time of purchase and remain \u201cin development\u201d and won\u2019t be available until at least late 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, consumers got less than their money\u2019s worth in purchasing a phone that did not have features Apple prominently advertised,\u201d states the law firm\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

The court document alleges that Apple violated several laws, including the Consumer Protection Act, the Competition Act, and the Sales of Goods Act. Apple is also being accused of breaching its contract with consumers by selling them phones that weren\u2019t equipped with all the advertised features.<\/p>\n
