Apple Inc. has reached a $250 million class-action settlement in a lawsuit alleging that the company misrepresented the capabilities of Siri during the launch of the iPhone 16 series. The lawsuit, filed by Peter Landsheft in a U.S. federal court in California in 2024, claimed that Apple promoted advanced AI features that were not available at the time of the iPhone 16's release. The settlement could potentially benefit nearly 36 million customers who purchased the iPhone 16, iPhone 15 Pro, or iPhone 15 Pro Max between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025. Compensation is estimated to range from $25 to $95 per device, depending on the number of valid claims submitted. Apple has denied any wrongdoing, stating that it aims to focus on innovation rather than prolonged legal battles. The settlement is part of a broader scrutiny of AI marketing practices in the tech industry, as Apple faces challenges in keeping pace with competitors in AI development. The court has granted preliminary approval for the settlement, and eligible users will soon be able to submit claims for compensation.
