The lawsuit, brought by Clarkson Law Firm, highlighted that Apple had launched an extensive advertising campaign in 2024 to promote these features before later confirming their indefinite delay. The settlement, which covers approximately 36 million devices sold in the United States from June 10, 2024, to March 29, 2025, includes the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Pro models. Each eligible claimant could receive $25 per device, with potential payouts reaching $95 depending on the number of approved claims.
