$250MApple's settlement over delayed Siri AI features

This is a look back at an event from . We wrote it on November 11, 2026, from the sources listed at the end.

The claims website for Apple's $250 million class action settlement over Siri went live on September 20, 2026. MacRumors reported the terms:

  • An estimated $25 per eligible iPhone.
  • A cap of $95 per person.
  • Claims accepted through December 21, 2026.

Background

The case concerned AI features for Siri that Apple advertised and then delayed. The more capable Siri was shown again at WWDC in June 2026, this time built on Google's Gemini models.

Why it mattered

The settlement put a price on announcing software before it is ready. It is small next to Apple's revenue, but it is a public record that buyers were sold a phone partly on features it did not yet have.
