Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle claims that it misled some iPhone customers about the capabilities and availability of its AI system, “Apple Intelligence.” Multiple reports say the dispute involves allegations of false or deceptive advertising tied to what Apple promoted as AI features versus what some buyers received. Eligible iPhone owners in the United States may receive payments ranging from $25 to $95, depending on the class criteria outlined in the settlement materials. Outlets also note that the lawsuit centered on whether Apple’s marketing oversold AI functionality and, in some coverage, whether certain AI features were delayed or missing at the time they were promised. The proposed settlement still requires judicial approval before payments begin. Several sources describe it as a class-action settlement and emphasize that Apple does not necessarily concede liability as part of the agreement. Coverage also points readers to information on eligibility and instructions for how to claim a payment.
