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

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 29

$250 million in proposed settlement funds is now open to claims from eligible U.S. iPhone owners, with payments starting at $25 per device and potentially rising to $95.
The case alleges buyers purchased certain AI-ready iPhones expecting Apple Intelligence Siri features that were not delivered during the covered period; Apple denies wrongdoing.
Seven models qualify — from iPhone 15 Pro to iPhone 16 Pro Max — if bought in the U.S. between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 by the original purchaser.
December 21, 2026 is the deadline to file at smartphoneaisettlement.com, and claimants must certify they expected the covered Siri features and did not receive them as promised.
February 24, 2027 is the final approval hearing, so any payout would come later and could be delayed further by appeals.
