Apple has opened claims for its $250 million Siri settlement over delayed Apple Intelligence features, the Times of India reported. Owners of the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 models in the United States can now file for compensation.

Eligible buyers — those who purchased their devices between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025 — can claim $25 per device, with the amount possibly rising up to $95 depending on the final claims pool.

Who can claim and how much

The settlement covers US buyers of the iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max or any iPhone 16 model bought in the specified window. The base payout is $25 per device, and claimants could receive up to $95 if fewer people file than expected.

The settlement stems from claims that Apple overpromised on Apple Intelligence features for Siri that arrived late or fell short of what was advertised. When the features marketed at launch do not materialise on time, buyers have legal recourse — and this settlement proves it.

The per-device structure means households with multiple eligible iPhones could stack claims, multiplying the payout.

How to file

Apple has opened a claims process for eligible owners. Buyers should check their purchase dates against the June 2024 to March 2025 window and follow the filing instructions provided through the settlement’s official channels.

As with most settlements of this kind, filing sooner rather than later is advisable, and claimants should keep proof of purchase handy. Deadlines in such processes are strict, and late filers typically get nothing.

Watch out for the details: only purchases within the exact date window qualify, and the devices must be the specified models.

What it means

The $250 million figure makes this one of the larger tech settlements of its kind — a reminder that marketing promises about AI features carry real legal weight. For Apple, it is a costly lesson in managing expectations around Apple Intelligence.

For eligible iPhone owners, it is a straightforward chance to claim money they are owed. Khabar 24h will update readers if the claims process changes.
