Apple opens $250 million Siri settlement claim process for eligible iPhone owners

Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to resolve a lawsuit alleging that the company failed to deliver an AI‑enhanced version of Siri to iPhone owners. Under the settlement, U.S. residents who purchased an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 can file a claim on the settlement’s website. Claimants will receive an estimated $25 per eligible device, though the payout could rise to $95 depending on the total number of claims filed.

To submit a claim, owners must provide their name, contact details and the serial number of the iPhone in question. The settlement’s website notes that the process is straightforward and that all required information will be verified before payment is issued. Apple’s decision to settle follows a class‑action suit that argued the company misled consumers about the availability of AI‑powered Siri features in the latest iPhone releases.

The settlement represents a significant financial commitment from Apple and underscores the growing scrutiny of AI promises in consumer products. Eligible iPhone owners who meet the purchase criteria are encouraged to file their claims promptly to secure the available compensation before the settlement’s deadline.
