🤔 Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class-action lawsuit filed by U.S. customers who purchased iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 devices expecting the AI-powered Siri features announced in 2024.
📰 According to Financial Times, plaintiffs claim Apple promoted “vapourware” – technology that did not actually exist at the time and may not become available for years. The lawsuit argues that Apple misled customers by heavily marketing advanced Siri AI capabilities as a major selling point of the new iPhones.
🤷♂️ Earlier this year, Apple reportedly shifted toward cooperation with Google for AI services, while integration with OpenAI and ChatGPT began back in 2024. However, the company has yet to introduce its own advanced AI models capable of significantly upgrading Siri.
🧲 If approved by the court, U.S. buyers of iPhone 16 models and selected iPhone 15 devices may receive compensation from the $250 million settlement fund.
