Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it misled consumers about AI features promised alongside the iPhone 16. Eligible iPhone owners in the United States can now submit claims for an estimated payout of up to $95 per device before the December 21, 2026 deadline.
How to File a Claim
Eligible iPhone owners living in the United States 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 official website. To complete the process, claimants must provide their full name, contact information, and the serial number of their eligible device before the filing deadline of December 21, 2026.
The estimated payout per eligible device is approximately $25, though the settlement's website notes this figure could rise to $95 depending on the total number of claims filed. This potential increase reflects the settlement's structure, which adjusts individual payouts based on participation levels among eligible iPhone owners across the United States.
The Lawsuit's Core Allegations
The class action lawsuit alleged that Apple created a 'clear and reasonable consumer expectation' that new AI features previewed during WWDC 2024 would launch alongside the iPhone 16. Instead, the iPhone 16 launched with a more limited set of capabilities despite being labeled as 'built for Apple Intelligence,' leading consumers to believe they were purchasing a device with advanced artificial intelligence features that were not yet available.
The company later delayed the rollout of its AI-upgraded Siri, which only just arrived with iOS 27 earlier this month. This delay further fueled consumer frustration, as many iPhone owners had waited for the promised AI enhancements that were initially showcased at Apple's annual developer conference but ultimately did not materialize with the device's initial release.
Apple's Response to the Settlement
Apple has denied any wrongdoing in connection with the class action lawsuit and the subsequent $250 million settlement. Despite the company's denial, the settlement represents a significant financial commitment to address the concerns of consumers who felt misled about the AI capabilities promised with their iPhone purchases.
The settlement aims to provide compensation to eligible iPhone owners while also sending a message about the importance of transparency in consumer technology marketing. As the filing deadline approaches, many iPhone owners are expected to submit claims to secure their share of the $250 million settlement fund.
