"The lawsuit claims that Apple 'promoted AI capabilities that did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years.' It also alleges that Apple 'saturated the internet, television, and other airwaves to cultivate a clear and reasonable consumer expectation that these transformative features would be available upon the iPhone's release.'"
"The proposed $250 million settlement applies to consumers in the US who purchased an Apple Intelligence-compatible device between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025. Eligible devices include the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16, iPhone 16e, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Under the agreement, eligible users are expected to receive about $25 per qualifying device."
"Approximately 37 million iPhone owners are eligible, according to the court filing. To file a claim, consumers will need to provide proof that they purchased an eligible device, which may include the device's serial number, Apple Account details, or associated phone number. The settlement received preliminary approval today, and eligible users are expected to receive notices with instructions on how to submit claims within the next 45 days."

Eligible users will receive approximately $25 per qualifying device. Consumers must provide proof of purchase including device serial numbers or Apple Account details to file claims, with notices expected within 45 days.
