Story summary

Apple customers who bought iPhone 15 or iPhone 16 models in the US between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, can now submit claims for a settlement ranging from $25 to $95 each device as part of a $250 million lawsuit over misleading marketing. The claim window opened earlier this year after Apple agreed to settle allegations that it advertised Siri AI features prematurely and did not deliver them. Ryan Clarkson, co-lead counsel on the class-action lawsuit, noted that this is one of the largest false advertising settlements in history. Eligible users must visit SmartphoneAISettlement.com to file their claims by December 21, after which they will forfeit their rights to compensation.
