A U.S. class-action lawsuit tied to Apple’s delayed Siri and Apple Intelligence features is moving toward resolution after a judge provisionally approved Apple’s proposed $250 million settlement. The settlement stems from claims that Apple promoted personalized Siri capabilities associated with Apple Intelligence, but delayed their delivery after customers bought iPhones expecting those features.
According to court documents filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Judge Noel Wise provided preliminary approval of the settlement offer. Apple had agreed to the deal in May, after acknowledging in March 2025 that the Siri features were delayed. Under the terms described by multiple outlets, eligible class members can receive a per-device payment of $25, with the amount potentially increasing up to $95 depending on the number of claims submitted.
To be eligible, claimants generally must be U.S. residents who purchased certain iPhone models between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025. A settlement website and claims process are expected to go live later; outlets report there is no live claims site yet, and eligible customers are expected to be notified by email after preliminary approval before they can submit claims.
