Do you own a recent iPhone? You may be eligible for up to $95 from a freshly settled class action lawsuit
with Apple.
The Cupertino-based tech mega-company agreed to settle a false advertising case in December, and
terms were announced Wednesday. The suit, filed in federal court in San Jose, was brought on behalf of
plaintiffs by Malibu-based Clarkson Law Firm.
Owners of some iPhones are in line to get cash payments of up to $95 from Apple after the company on Tuesday reached a $250 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit for false advertising of its artificial intelligence capabilities.
The lawsuit alleged that Apple exaggerated the breadth of features Apple Intelligence would bring, which included a significantly upgraded version of its assistant, Siri. The complaint alleges that the company created the impression that advanced AI capabilities would be available to users sooner than they actually were. In particular, the plaintiffs allege that Apple overstated both the readiness and functionality of these features, particularly the promised improvements to Siri, which have yet to fully materialize.
