Understanding the Settlement and Your Eligibility
In May, Apple agreed to pay $250 million over claims it exaggerated Siri’s features. Many customers feel they didn’t get what was promised. If you bought an iPhone 15 or 16 between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, you might qualify for a cash refund. Specifically, owners of newer iPhones can potentially receive up to $95 per device. While the new Siri AI is now available on iOS 27, this settlement applies to past purchases. Apple states it denies wrongdoing, but the payout aims to settle disputes over marketing claims. To check if you’re eligible, gather your device info and review qualifying dates carefully.
How to File Your Claim
Start by visiting the official settlement website: smartphoneaisettlement.com. Once there, click the blue “File A Claim” button in the top corner. You will need either your iPhone’s serial number or Apple ID, but don’t worry if you don’t have a Claim ID or PIN yet. To find your serial number, go to Settings > General > About on your iPhone. Then, type your info into the claim form. You can choose how you want to receive your payout—PayPal, Venmo, bank transfer, or a paper check. If you have multiple eligible devices, you will need to fill out the form for each one separately. Remember, you must file your claim by December 21.
What to Expect During and After the Process
Once you submit your claim, Apple reviews the information. If approved, you could receive a check or electronic payment depending on your choice. The payout amount depends on how many qualifying devices you have. Keep in mind, this settlement covers only past purchases, not future updates. While the new Siri AI is now fully functional on recent iPhones, the settlement mainly addresses earlier marketing claims. Filing your claim is straightforward, and doing so ensures you take your shot at a potential cash reward. Don’t miss the deadline—act soon to claim your share.
