Apple is reportedly reaching a $250 million settlement to resolve class-action claims that it overstated AI features tied to Apple Intelligence/Siri on certain iPhone models, with court approval still pending in California as of early May 2026. The proposed deal would pay eligible claimants per device, potentially up to about $95 in some cases, and does not include an admission of wrongdoing by Apple. You can expect a judge to review the settlement terms at a upcoming hearing around mid-June 2026.
Key points:
- Settlement amount: $250 million to resolve AI feature advertising claims.[3][6]
- Affected devices: iPhone 16, and certain iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max purchasers in the United States, bought between mid-2024 and early-2025. Each qualifying device could yield about $25, potentially up to $95 per claimant depending on claims.[2][4]
- Status: Preliminary court approval sought; final approval and distribution depend on the Northern District of California judge’s ruling at a scheduled hearing.[2][3]
- Company position: Apple has not admitted wrongdoing as part of the settlement.[6][3]
