Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class-action lawsuit in the United States over alleged false advertising regarding its AI features, known as ‘Apple Intelligence,’ on the iPhone 16 series and iPhone 15 Pro models. The lawsuit claimed that Apple’s marketing promised advanced AI capabilities, including enhancements to its Siri voice assistant, which were not delivered as advertised at launch. As part of the settlement, eligible U.S. iPhone buyers can receive payments ranging from $25 to $95, depending on the number of claims and other factors. This legal action follows similar accusations in British Columbia, Canada, where the status remains unclear. The settlement highlights ongoing scrutiny and legal challenges faced by tech companies over AI marketing claims.
