The proposed 90-day filing window gives affected U.S. buyers a path to compensation, but court approval and the final claim requirements are still pending.
Listen to this story
Apple’s proposed $250 million settlement over delayed personalized Siri features could compensate eligible U.S. purchasers of specified iPhones, but the process remains pending court approval. The proposed class covers purchases from June 10, 2024, through March 29, 2025, and would allow roughly 90 days to file if the schedule holds. Payments would not be expected until after a February 24, 2027, approval hearing.
Eligible devices include the iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, and every listed iPhone 16 model.
Proposed compensation is $25 per device, potentially rising to $95 if claim volume is lower than expected.
The proposed filing window runs September 21 through December 21, subject to judicial approval.
Eligible U.S. buyers of certain iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 models may be able to seek $25 per device from Apple’s $250 million Siri settlement, with payments potentially reaching $95 per device if fewer claims arrive than expected. But the claims process has not opened, and the proposed schedule still requires judicial approval.
Apple agreed in May to resolve a U.S. class action over the delayed launch of personalized Siri features. The lawsuit alleged false advertising tied to capabilities Apple previewed in June 2024, then delayed in March 2025.
Apple’s lawyers have proposed sending notifications and opening submissions around September 21. The proposed filing period would close December 21, giving prospective claimants about 90 days. Those dates are not final: the court must approve them.
The final approval hearing is scheduled for February 24, 2027. Payments are not expected before then, and there is currently no settlement website or online claim form for customers to use.
The described class covers U.S. residents who bought an eligible phone between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025. It includes the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, plus every listed iPhone 16 variant.
The eventual filing instructions may require proof of purchase or identifying information such as a serial number. The exact rules are to be set out on the settlement site, so eligibility should not be treated as a completed claim.
Apple’s 2024 preview described a more personalized Siri that could understand a user’s personal context and recognize what was on screen. The company promoted those features in presentations, on its website and in a television commercial before delaying them the following March.
Apple highlighted other Apple Intelligence features it had released while settling the case. It later announced a revamped assistant called Siri AI at WWDC 2026; it is available in the iOS 27 beta ahead of a September release. That product progress does not change the settlement timetable now before the court.
