"Apple was accused of setting 'a clear and reasonable consumer expectation that these transformative features would be available upon the iPhone's release,' while also causing 'unprecedented excitement' that resulted in millions of consumers unnecessarily upgrading their devices."
"The lawsuit claimed Apple violated consumer law by misleading consumers about the actual utility and performance of Apple Intelligence, and causing them to purchase a device 'with features that did not exist or were materially misrepresented.'"
"Eligible devices include iPhone 16, iPhone 16e, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, or iPhone 15 Pro Max models purchased between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025."
"Apple's $250 million payment will provide U.S. Settlement Class Members who submit Claim Forms with a per-device payment of $25 for each eligible device, though that could increase up to $95 per device if claim volume is low."
Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class action lawsuit that accused the company of false advertising and unfair competition regarding the Siri features promoted during the iPhone 16 launch. The lawsuit claimed that Apple misled consumers about the availability and performance of these features, leading to unnecessary device upgrades. Eligible consumers can receive a payment of $25 per device, potentially increasing to $95 if claim volume is low. Notices for claims will be sent within 45 days of preliminary approval.
