Apple Siri Lawsuit Settlement: How to Claim Your Payout

Apple faced a class action lawsuit last March for delaying the launch of a more personalized Siri feature that was announced at WWDC 2024. The company has agreed to settle the case, with a payout of $250 million, which amounts to an estimated $25 per device. Depending on the number of claims submitted, the payout could go up to $95 per device. The lawsuit alleged that Apple falsely promoted AI capabilities that were not available at the time and created unrealistic consumer expectations. Despite the settlement, Apple denies any wrongdoing and maintains that it acted in good faith and compliance with regulations.

The settlement covers the purchase of Apple Intelligence-capable devices between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, in the United States. Eligible users can claim $25 per device, but the actual payout may vary based on the number of claims received. The maximum payout per device is capped at $95. The settlement also includes attorneys' fees and administrative costs, which will reduce the total amount paid out to users. To file a claim, users need to provide proof of purchase, such as a serial number, Apple Account information, and phone number. The settlement has received preliminary approval, and claim submission notices will be sent out within 45 days.

If you own an eligible device purchased during the specified period, you may be entitled to a payout as part of the settlement. Make sure to gather the necessary documentation to support your claim and watch out for the claim submission notices in the coming weeks. Stay informed about any updates regarding the settlement to ensure you receive the compensation you are entitled to.
