## Summary

According to Wired, the $250 million class-action settlement involves claims that Apple overstated its promotion of Siri’s artificial-intelligence features to sell certain iPhones. Eligible customers may include people in the US who bought certain iPhone 15 or iPhone 16 models from Apple between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025; payments may reach $95 per device. Apple denies wrongdoing.

Claims must be submitted at smartphoneaisettlement.com by December 21. Applicants need either the iPhone’s serial number or Apple Account ID, and can receive payment through PayPal, Venmo, an electronic bank transfer, or a paper check. The settlement concerns the delayed release of Siri’s overhaul; the feature is now available for newer iPhones through iOS 27, Wired reports.

## Why it matters (editorial interpretation)

The settlement could affect consumer trust in claims about AI features used to sell devices, although Apple denies wrongdoing. For eligible buyers, it also creates a concrete financial consequence tied to the delay in Siri’s overhaul.
