Summary
- iPhone 16/15 buyers may get $25-$95 from settlement.
- The claim window for Apple's $250M AI settlement closes Dec 21, 2026.
- Lawsuit alleged misleading AI feature advertising by Apple.

Eligible iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 buyers can now file claims for payouts as part of Apple's $250 million AI class-action settlement. The lawsuit alleged that Apple misled consumers by advertising AI features that were not immediately available on the devices at launch. Payments ranging from $25 to $95 per eligible device are anticipated.
The claims period is open until December 21, 2026. Customers who purchased qualifying iPhone models between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, are potentially eligible. The settlement addresses claims that Apple's marketing of enhanced Siri features and other AI capabilities was deceptive, as these features arrived weeks after the devices were released.
Court approval for the settlement has progressed, with a final approval date set for February 24, 2027. Following this, settlement payments are expected to be distributed within a 60-day window after that date. Approximately 36 million customers are estimated to be eligible for this settlement.
