"The lawsuit alleged that Apple exaggerated the breadth of features Apple Intelligence would bring, which included a significantly upgraded version of its assistant, Siri. The complaint alleges that the company created the impression that advanced AI capabilities would be available to users sooner than they actually were."
"As a result, the complaint claims, people who bought the iPhone 15 or iPhone 16 believed they were paying for cutting-edge AI tools that were not actually available at the time of purchase. The lawsuit framed this as false advertising, and says Apple's marketing influenced buying decisions based on features that were incomplete or delayed."
"Under the proposed agreement, eligible U.S. customers who purchased the iPhone 15 or iPhone 16 between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 could receive up to $95 per device."
"Apple has been touting a more advanced version of Siri ever since it unveiled Apple Intelligence in 2024 during WWDC. The anticipated updates are expected to help Siri function more like modern AI chatbots such as ChatGPT or Claude."
Apple has agreed to a $250 million settlement regarding a class-action lawsuit that claimed the company exaggerated the capabilities of its AI features, particularly Siri, ahead of the iPhone 16 launch. The lawsuit alleged that Apple misled consumers about the availability and functionality of these features, leading buyers to believe they were purchasing advanced AI tools that were not ready. Eligible customers who bought the iPhone 15 or 16 could receive up to $95 per device. Apple has not admitted wrongdoing but opted for settlement instead of litigation.
