"According to TheStreet, the lawsuit claims Apple deliberately misled customers about an advanced Siri AI feature that did not really exist. The case was filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of California under "Landsheft v. Apple" in March 2025. Landsheft says Apple significantly overstated Siri's AI capabilities. Apple agreed to the $250 million settlement in December of last year."
"Once it goes through users that purchased any iPhone 16, iPhone 15 Pro, or iPhone 15 Pro Max between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, are eligible for the settlement. The base payout was set at $25 per device, and a maximum was set at $95 per device."
"The lawsuit mainly centers around Apple's advertising surrounding their Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2024 as well as the launch of the iPhone 16 that same year. The plaintiffs allege that the tech giant willfully overstated Siri's AI capabilities on the new devices and disseminated those misleading claims on TV, retail ads, and online. Users that purchased the aforementioned Apple products in hopes of benefiting from these new features were in for a rude awakening. The promised upgrade to Siri never materialized."
