How to Claim Your Cut of Apple’s $250 Million Siri Settlement
Apple may pay out up to $95 for each eligible iPhone purchased by someone who felt misled about Siri’s release. You have until December 21 to submit a claim.
Apple recently settled a dispute over its Siri AI voice assistant, agreeing to pay out $250 million to eligible customers in the United States. This agreement pertains to individuals who purchased specific iPhone models between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025. The potential payout per device ranges from $0 to $95, depending on the eligibility criteria.
Customers seeking to claim their share of the settlement can do so via the official website, smartphoneaisettlement.com. Upon arrival, users will be prompted to enter either a Claim ID and PIN or, alternatively, their iPhone's serial number or Apple Account ID. The former is not mandatory; these details can be obtained by navigating to the Settings app, selecting General, and then About. The serial number appears as a series of characters near the top of the screen.
Upon completion of the claim form, users can opt for payment through various methods, including PayPal, Venmo, electronic bank transfer, or a paper check. It is important to note that owners of multiple eligible devices will need to submit a separate claim for each one. The deadline for making claims is December 21, 2025.
Apple's representatives have expressed their stance, stating that they resolved the matter to maintain focus on delivering innovative products and services to users. The company maintains that they did not engage in any wrongdoing and are committed to upholding their commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.
