In May, Apple agreed to pay out $250 million as part of a class action lawsuit over claims the company overhyped its Apple Intelligence tools, with Siri being a key feature. If you bought an iPhone 15 or 16 between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, and feel you were promised features that didn’t materialise, you might be eligible for up to $95 per device.

This settlement revolves around Apple’s promotion of Siri features to boost iPhone sales. Consumers were promised a revamp that never fully materialised, prompting the lawsuit. Apple denies any wrongdoing, stating, 'We resolved this matter to stay focused on delivering the most innovative products and services to our users.'
