Claims for Apple’s proposed Siri and Apple Intelligence settlement opened Sept. 21, 2026, and must be filed by Dec. 21, 2026. The $250 million agreement covers qualifying U.S. residents who originally bought one of seven listed iPhone models in the United States during the settlement’s purchase period. A valid personal claim has a presumptive payment of $25 per device, but the final amount may be higher or lower.

Which iPhones and buyers may qualify?

The settlement lists these seven eligible models:

  • iPhone 15 Pro
  • iPhone 15 Pro Max
  • iPhone 16
  • iPhone 16e
  • iPhone 16 Plus
  • iPhone 16 Pro
  • iPhone 16 Pro Max

The model alone does not determine eligibility. The original purchaser must reside in the United States and have bought the phone in the United States from June 10, 2024, through March 29, 2025. The purchase must have been for personal or business use, not resale.

What might a claim pay?

The settlement sets a presumptive payment of $25 per eligible device for a valid personal claim. The amount may be adjusted pro rata—proportionally, based on the number of valid claims and other factors—to as much as $95 per device or to less than $25. The $95 figure is a maximum, not a guaranteed payment.

Apple agreed to fund $250 million before deductions for attorneys’ fees and costs, administration and notice expenses, taxes, and any service award. The settlement fund is not the amount each claimant receives.

How to submit a claim

The settlement administrator offers separate online claim paths for individuals and for businesses or other entities. A separate claim form is required for each eligible device. The administrator’s instructions say a device’s serial number can be found in Settings > General > About, on its original packaging, or on the original receipt or invoice.

What the settlement covers—and what happens next

The lawsuit alleges that consumers bought certain iPhones expecting Siri and Apple Intelligence features they did not receive. Apple denies the allegations and says the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.

The settlement received preliminary approval on July 17, 2026. The administrator lists Feb. 24, 2027 as the date of the final-approval hearing.
