Apple is paying $250 million to settle claims that it failed to deliver an AI-upgraded Siri — and now, eligible iPhone owners can submit a claim for a payout. If you live in the US and purchased an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model between June 10th, 2024, and March 29th, 2025, you can file a claim on the settlement’s website, as reported earlier by MacRumors.
You can receive an estimated $25 per eligible device, but the settlement’s website notes that this can increase to $95 depending on how many people file claims. To file a claim, you’ll need to enter your name, contact information, and iPhone serial number on the settlement’s website before the December 21st, 2026 deadline.
The class action lawsuit alleged Apple created a “clear and reasonable consumer expectation” that new AI features previewed during WWDC 2024 would launch alongside the iPhone 16. Instead, the iPhone 16 launched with a more limited set of capabilities despite being labeled as “built for Apple Intelligence.” The company later delayed the rollout of its AI-upgraded Siri, which only just arrived with iOS 27 earlier this month. Apple has denied any wrongdoing.
