## Apple pays $250M for Siri delays
Apple is settling a lawsuit over AI features it promised but didn't deliver on time with the iPhone 16. Eligible iPhone owners can now claim payouts.
## Who can file a claim
You're eligible if you bought an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, and live in the US.
## How much you could get
Each eligible device gets an estimated $25, but payouts could reach $95 depending on how many people file claims before the December 21, 2026 deadline.
## What Apple promised at WWDC
At WWDC 2024, Apple previewed new AI features and created an expectation they'd launch with iPhone 16. The phone arrived with limited capabilities despite being labeled 'built for Apple Intelligence.'
## When Siri AI finally arrived
Apple delayed its AI-upgraded Siri for months. The feature only just arrived with iOS 27 earlier this month, well after the iPhone 16 launch.
## How to file your claim
Visit the settlement website and enter your name, contact information, and iPhone serial number. You have until December 21, 2026 to submit. Apple has denied any wrongdoing.
## Key takeaway

If you bought an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 between June 2024 and March 2025, you can file a claim for $25 to $95 per device before December 21, 2026.
