"As a result, a man in California filed suit (Landsheft vs. Apple) against Apple via law firm Clarkson and two other firms in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. "As is now widely known, Apple falsely represented what the iPhone 16 could do in an effort to reverse its trend of declining iPhone sales and capitalize on consumer excitement for truly innovative and advanced AI features," lawyers alleged in the official complaint."
""Apple promoted AI capabilities that did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years, if ever, all while marketing them as the breakthrough innovation of the iPhone 16. This class action arises from that widespread de""
"When Apple rolled out the iPhone 16, the hook was access to a more advanced device that would work differently/better thanks to artificial intelligence. The updated handset hit stores in 2024 without most the new features, but Apple promised they would arrive soon. While some new features were eventually pushed to iPhones via software updates (including writing tools and increased photo editing options), the experience of using iOS hasn't changed much even though another new round of iPhones has been on the market for a while now."
"Eligible iPhone buyers may receive $25-95 if the court approves the settlement. Remember all those ads two years ago about upgrading your iPhone to take advantage of AI? They are about to cost Apple a lot of money, and you might be entitled to some of it."
A lawsuit alleges Apple falsely advertised iPhone 16 AI capabilities tied to Apple Intelligence and Siri. The iPhone 16 launched in 2024 with most promised features not available, though some writing tools and improved photo editing arrived later through software updates. The experience of using iOS is described as largely unchanged despite additional iPhone releases. A California plaintiff filed a class action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, claiming Apple promoted AI features that did not exist at the time and remain unavailable. If the court approves a settlement, eligible iPhone buyers may receive $25 to $95.
