Overview

• Apple filed a 35-page motion in the Northern District of California to toss Landsheft v. Apple, a consolidated case with 69 plaintiffs.
• The company argues the claims hinge on timing for Siri Personal Context Awareness and Siri In‑App Actions, which it says were postponed to meet quality standards.
• Apple points to more than 20 Apple Intelligence features already delivered, including Writing Tools, Genmoji and Image Playground, and says iPhone 16 hardware is not defective.
• Plaintiffs allege false advertising, say they would not have purchased or would have paid less for iPhone 16, and cite extensive Siri promotion including a Bella Ramsey ad later removed.
• A hearing on the motion is scheduled for January 7, 2026, and reports say the two delayed Siri capabilities are now expected in 2026, potentially with iOS 26.4.
