Apple Opens $250 Million Siri Settlement Claims, Offering Up to $95 per iPhone

3 articles · Updated · MacRumors · Sep 21

Summary

  • $25 per eligible iPhone is now available to claim through Apple’s Siri settlement site, with payouts potentially rising to $95 depending on how many valid claims are filed.
  • U.S. buyers of iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16-series models purchased between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 can submit claims from Sept. 21 to Dec. 21.
  • The lawsuit followed Apple’s March 2025 delay of personalized Siri features it had promoted in 2024, alleging false advertising after the AI upgrade missed its expected launch window.
  • Apple denies wrongdoing and says it settled to avoid trial costs and risks; a final approval hearing is set for Feb. 24, 2027, so payments are not expected until next year.
  • Siri AI was finally unveiled at WWDC 2026 and is now available in beta on iPhone 15 Pro models and newer running iOS 27.
