- Eligible devices can get up to $95 each (@emmanuelvivier, @nordicinst)
- Coverage: iPhone 15 Pro/16 series purchased from Apple between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 (@aakashgupta, @nordicinst)
- Apple agreed to pay while denying wrongdoing (@nordicinst)
- The suits involved alleged overhyping of Apple Intelligence, repeated Siri delays, and privacy claims that Siri recorded users without activation
Why it matters
This is a landmark case of a major tech company paying for AI feature overpromising. The gap between the $95 cap and the estimated $4.70 average payout also highlights the modest real-world value of class-action settlements for individual users.
