[ad_1]
In May, Apple agreed to pay out $250 million as part of a class action lawsuit over claims the company overhyped its Apple Intelligence tools, specifically the long-delayed Siri AI overhaul.
Although the revamped Siri AI voice assistant is now available for owners of newer iPhones via iOS 27, you may still be eligible to claim cash back for past purchases. This settlement covers customers in the US who made their purchases from June 10, 2024 to March 29, 2025, and bought certain iPhone 15 or iPhone 16 models from Apple. If you qualify, you might receive up to $95 for each phone.
This settlement revolves around Apple’s promotion of Siri features to sell iPhones. “I expected to receive a Siri Apple Intelligence feature and did not receive it,” reads part of the statement you have to sign when filling out the claim form. As part of the settlement, Apple denies any wrongdoing.
“We resolved this matter to stay focused on doing what we do best, delivering the most innovative products and services to our users,” read part of Apple’s statement from May about the settlement.
To file a claim, visit the dedicated website: smartphoneaisettlement.com. Click the blue button in the top-right corner of the page labeled File A Claim. First, you’ll be asked whether you have a Claim ID and PIN to enter. It’s not required for you to already have this info on hand. On the final page, you’ll need either your iPhone’s serial number or Apple Account ID on hand to file the claim.
Not sure where your serial number is located? Open the Settings app, tap General, then choose About. Your serial number will be a string of letters and numbers near the top of the screen.
You can choose to receive the settlement money through PayPal, Venmo, an electronic bank transfer, or a paper check. If you have multiple devices and want to make claims for all of them, then you’ll need to fill out the form again for every eligible device. iPhone owners have until December 21 to make their claims.
