Apple Inc. · 2026-09-21 · Importance 28 · Surprise 42 · In source text
Apple agreed to a $250 million settlement resolving allegations that it deceptively marketed Apple Intelligence and Siri capabilities on certain iPhone models. Eligible customers who purchased an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, may receive $25 per device, potentially increasing to $95. Claims must be submitted by December 21, 2026, and a final approval hearing is scheduled for February 24, 2027. The settlement amount is below the specified materiality threshold but is included because it is a named corporate legal payment.
