Apple has reached a $250 million settlement with US class-action plaintiffs alleging the company failed to deliver promised AI upgrades for Siri on specific iPhone models. Eligible owners of the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and any iPhone 16 model purchased between June 10th, 2024, and March 29th, 2025, can now submit claims through a dedicated website. The payout structure begins at an estimated $25 per device, though the settlement document notes this figure may rise to $95 depending on the total number of claims filed. Claimants must provide their name, contact details, and the specific serial number of their device to process the request.
This resolution addresses a breach of contract regarding features marketed during the sales period, offering financial redress rather than a technical fix for the software. The settlement highlights the regulatory pressure on tech firms to honour specific product promises and provides a mechanism for affected users to recover funds without further litigation. Eligible individuals should verify their purchase dates and model numbers before proceeding with the online form.
- Payouts range from $25 to $95 per eligible device.
- Claims are open to US residents only.
- Submission requires the device serial number.
