Apple opens claims process for $250 million Siri delay settlement
Apple customers in the U.S. who bought certain iPhone models between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 can file claims for a share of a $250 million class action settlement over delayed Apple Intelligence features. Estimated payouts are $25 per device, rising to as much as $95 if few claims are filed, with the deadline set for December 21, 2026. Apple settled without admitting wrongdoing after being sued for marketing features that shipped later than promised.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The payout size will hinge on how many eligible customers file valid claims, since the $250 million pool must also cover legal fees, taxes and administrative costs before individual payments are calculated. The case highlights growing legal exposure for tech companies that promote AI features ahead of their actual release, which could make firms more cautious about marketing unfinished capabilities. Only U.S. purchasers are covered, leaving customers elsewhere without recourse under this settlement.
- Eligible U.S. iPhone buyers from June 10, 2024 to March 29, 2025 can claim $25–$95 per device.
- Claims must be submitted by December 21, 2026 to qualify for compensation.
- Apple settled for $250 million without admitting fault over delayed Apple Intelligence features.
