Apple Pays $250M Over Siri AI Delays

Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it misled consumers about its Apple Intelligence features, particularly an upgraded Siri. Plaintiffs claimed Apple's marketing created false expectations about AI capabilities that were incomplete or delayed at the time of purchase. Eligible U.S. customers who bought an iPhone 15 or iPhone 16 between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 could receive up to $95 per device. Apple did not admit wrongdoing. The settlement comes ahead of its June 8 developer conference, where an AI-enhanced Siri is expected to be previewed.
