What to expect from the 2026 Apple TV 4K: Siri AI, Siri Remote, better networking, more!

Apple's Siri AI-related class action lawsuit has been granted preliminary approval for a settlement, but payments to eligible iPhone users will not be forthcoming for several months. The final approval hearing is set for February 24, 2027, seven months earlier than the previously scheduled date of September 29, 2027. However, even after the court's approval, payments typically take a few months to reach consumers, pending any appeals and the processing of eligible claims.

Apple had heavily promoted its new Apple Intelligence features, including an AI-powered Siri, in 2024, but these features were delayed and faced multiple class action lawsuits alleging Apple promoted them as a major reason to buy the new iPhone. Apple ultimately reached a $250 million settlement in May 2026 while admitting no wrongdoing.

Qualified consumers will receive anywhere from approximately $25 to $95, with the exact amount depending on the number of claims and other factors. To qualify, consumers must have purchased certain iPhone models between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025. As of now, the settlement's claims website has not been launched, and eligible consumers are expected to receive instructions by email or mail once claims open.
