Apple to Pay Up to $95 to Some US iPhone Buyers Over AI Lawsuit

The technology giant has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit filed by iPhone buyers in the United States, who claim that the company’s advertising for its “Apple Intelligence” software misled consumers about its capabilities and benefits. The lawsuit alleged that Apple’s marketing efforts created unrealistic expectations among iPhone owners, leading them to believe that the device’s AI features were more advanced than they actually were. As part of the settlement, eligible iPhone buyers will receive a payment ranging from $25 to $95 per device, depending on the specific model and whether it was purchased before or after 2019. The settlement is expected to be finalized in the coming months, although details are still being worked out by Apple and the plaintiffs’ lawyers.
