Apple Inc. has reportedly agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class action lawsuit in the United States, which alleged that the company misled customers regarding the upgraded features of Siri for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 series. During the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024, Apple showcased advanced Siri functionalities that included understanding personal context from emails and messages, interacting with visible content, and performing actions within apps without manual input. However, these features were not delivered with the iOS 18 update, nor have they appeared in subsequent iOS 26 updates. The company did not acknowledge the delay until March 2025, five months after the iPhone 16's launch, and later withdrew promotional materials that highlighted the new capabilities. The settlement will compensate affected users but does not require Apple to admit any wrongdoing. Looking ahead, Apple is expected to introduce the revamped Siri later this year, powered by Google’s Gemini AI models, with the anticipated release of iOS 27 in 2026, which may include additional AI-driven features.
