Apple to Pay $250M in Settlement Over Siri AI Delays
Apple will compensate US iPhone 15 and 16 buyers up to $95 per device in a $250 million settlement over delayed Siri AI features.
Apple has announced a $250 million settlement over Siri AI features that were delayed on iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 in the United States. Eligible US buyers could receive up to $95 per device as part of the deal. The agreement settles a lawsuit accusing Apple of dragging its feet on key Siri AI capabilities.
The settlement also notes that the payout per device can range from $25 to $95, depending on the specifics of each purchase. In total, the pot is designed to compensate customers who bought the affected iPhones during the relevant period.

The case underscores the high stakes in AI feature rollouts as manufacturers balance innovation with user expectations.
The news comes amid a broader focus on accountability in AI deployments, with customers watching to see how settlements like this influence future product rollouts and compensation.
