Key facts
Apple agreed to establish a proposed $250 million class action settlement fund resolving claims that it allegedly promoted certain Siri Apple Intelligence features that purchasers did not receive as expected. Apple denies all allegations and denies doing anything improper or unlawful.
The settlement covers original purchasers who resided in the United States and purchased an eligible iPhone in the United States for personal or business use, rather than resale, between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025. Eligible devices include the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16, iPhone 16e, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Settlement Class Members must submit a valid claim by December 21, 2026, to be considered for payment. Valid claims are valued at $25 per eligible device, but that amount may increase or decrease on a pro rata basis depending on the number of valid claims, eligible devices claimed, fees, awards, and administrative costs. Payments cannot exceed $95 per eligible device.
No receipt is required with the standard claim form. Claimants must identify each eligible device using its serial number or the Apple Account email address and phone number associated with the device. The court will hold the final approval hearing on February 24, 2027. Payments cannot be distributed unless the settlement receives final approval and any appeals are resolved.
Who may qualify
U.S. residents who originally purchased an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16, iPhone 16e, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, or iPhone 16 Pro Max in the United States between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, for personal or business use rather than resale, may qualify. Claimants must certify that they expected to receive a Siri Apple Intelligence feature that they did not receive.
What proof do you need?
Do you need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you will not need proof of purchase. No receipt or other purchase document is required with the standard claim form. Claimants must provide the eligible iPhone’s serial number. If the serial number is unavailable, they may provide the Apple Account email address and phone number associated with the device. Claimants must also certify that they purchased the device during the class period and expected to receive a Siri Apple Intelligence feature that they did not receive.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Verita Global is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made, sometimes offering a payment election such as a check, a digital payment or a virtual card.
Claim helps you check whether you may qualify, understand the official requirements, and keep track of settlement deadlines.
