iPhone owners can now submit claims in Apple’s $250 million Siri AI settlement

Apple has begun accepting claims under a $250 million settlement tied to a class-action lawsuit that said the company failed to deliver an AI-upgraded Siri as consumers expected. The settlement covers U.S. purchasers of iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and all iPhone 16 models bought between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025. Claimants can file through the settlement’s website where they must provide their name, contact details and the serial number of the eligible device. The site estimates a baseline payment of about $25 per eligible device, but notes the per-device award could rise to as much as $95 depending on how many people submit valid claims. The underlying lawsuit said Apple’s WWDC 2024 previews and the iPhone 16 marketing created a “clear and reasonable consumer expectation” that enhanced AI features for Siri would launch with the new hardware. Instead, the iPhone 16 shipped with a narrower set of capabilities and Apple postponed the broader Siri AI rollout; that upgrade became available with iOS 27 earlier this month. Apple has denied any wrongdoing in the litigation. According to the settlement notice, claim submissions must be completed by the specified deadline. MacRumors reported earlier that the claims process was launching; The Verge provided a detailed summary of the settlement and filing instructions. The settlement gives eligible purchasers a route to recover a modest payment without further litigation.
