Owners of some iPhones may get a little extra cash from Apple after the tech giant reached a $250 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit.<\/p>

The lawsuit alleges that Apple deceived consumers by marketing artificial intelligence features that didn’t exist when the iPhone 16 was released in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>

This settlement covers roughly 37 million devices bought in the United States between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, including all iPhone 16 models and the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.<\/p>

Apple settlement payment to iPhone owners<\/h2>

By the numbers:<\/p>

Owners of some iPhone models are eligible for a payment of at least $25 for each device, and that amount could go up to $95 depending on how many other claims are filed “and other factors,” the Associated Press reported, citing the court filing.<\/p>

Apple customers will be informed by email or mail that they can file a claim on a settlement website, it said.<\/p>

The other side:<\/p>

Apple released a statement on the settlement obtained by the AP that said “Apple has reached a settlement to resolve claims related to the availability of two additional features. “We resolved this matter to stay focused on doing what we do best, delivering the most innovative products and services to our users.”\u00a0<\/p>

The AP reported that a lawsuit, filed on behalf of consumers in the San Francisco federal court for the Northern District of California, alleged that Apple duped consumers with a marketing campaign that promoted features that did not yet exist and misled them into purchasing the devices.\u00a0<\/p>

Consumers were infuriated after learning that the new Siri AI features were being released later than expected. The court filing noted that customers wouldn\u2019t have bought the eligible devices or would have paid substantially less if they were aware the Enhanced Siri features weren\u2019t available.\u00a0<\/p>
