Apple's Siri Settlement: Here's When iPhone Owners Can Submit Claims

In May of this year, Apple settled a U.S. class action lawsuit over the delayed launch of its Siri AI for $250 million. Eligible iPhone users could receive up to a $95 payout. The court document released today revealed when customers may start submitting claims. If Apple's proposed dates are approved by the judge, eligible customers should begin receiving notification about the settlement on September 21, and claim submissions could start around that time.

The claims period would last until December 21, providing customers around 90 days to take action. The final approval hearing for the settlement is set for February 24, 2027, so payments to customers would not begin until next year. No action is required from customers at this time, as the settlement website with a claims form has not yet been launched.
