Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to resolve a class-action lawsuit regarding its Apple Intelligence rollout. The suit claimed the company created unreasonable consumer expectations by marketing iPhone 16 devices as AI-ready before Siri's major update arrived with iOS 27. Eligible US customers who bought specific iPhone models between June 2024 and March 2025 can file claims for up to $95 per device. Apple denied any wrongdoing but chose to settle to avoid prolonged litigation.
