"The lawsuit alleged that Apple falsely advertised AI enhancements to its iPhone 16, which was announced in September 2024. The allegations stem from a slew of AI features known as Apple Intelligence, which the company launched in 2024, according to the complaint. The plaintiffs accused Apple of promoting a "dramatically enhanced Siri" as the focal point of the new Apple Intelligence technology."
"But the Apple Intelligence and so-called enhanced Siri did not exist when the iPhone 16 launched, per the complaint. The lawsuit alleged Apple "deceived millions of consumers into spending hundreds of dollars on a phone they did not need, based on features that do not exist.""
"The tech giant has agreed to a $250 million settlement in a case that alleged it deceived consumers over artificial intelligence enhancements in new iPhones in 2024. The lawsuit accused Apple of touting new AI technology, including Siri enhancements, while advertising the iPhone 16 at the time, but the device did not contain the elements when it was released, according to court filings."
Apple has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit for $250 million over allegations that it falsely advertised artificial intelligence enhancements for the iPhone 16. The lawsuit, initiated by California resident Peter Landsheft in March 2025, claimed Apple promoted Apple Intelligence features and a dramatically enhanced Siri as focal points of the new device, but these features did not exist when the iPhone 16 launched in September 2024. The plaintiffs alleged Apple deceived millions of consumers into purchasing the phone based on non-existent features. Apple denied the allegations and stated it resolved the suit to continue delivering innovative products. The settlement requires judicial approval before consumer payments can be distributed.
