Apple has reached a settlement of $250 million in a class action lawsuit concerning the delayed release of its AI-powered Siri, which was initially promised to launch in 2024. The lawsuit claims that Apple misled customers who purchased the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16, expecting the new, more personalized Siri to be available. Although Apple showcased the updated Siri at the WWDC 2024, the company failed to deliver the new assistant nearly two years later. The settlement will provide financial relief to affected US buyers, but Apple does not admit any wrongdoing regarding its advertising practices. Despite rolling out some AI features over the past two years, the much-anticipated Siri update, which would allow for contextual understanding and app interaction, has yet to materialize. Apple announced the delay in March 2025, after the iPhone 16's launch, and subsequently removed ads promoting the new Siri. The company plans to introduce the updated Siri this year, leveraging a partnership with Google to utilize its Gemini models, with the new features expected to be part of iOS 27.
