Overview

• Apple filed a 35-page motion on September 25 to dismiss the consolidated Landsheft v. Apple Inc. case in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
• The filing argues the complaint focuses on the timing of two Siri capabilities—Personal Context Awareness and In-App Actions—despite more than 20 Apple Intelligence features already being delivered.
• Apple asserts iPhone 16 models are not defective and says the remaining Siri functions will arrive via a free software update, with reports pointing to iOS 26.4 in March or April 2026.
• Plaintiffs allege false advertising and say they would not have bought an iPhone 16, or would have paid less, had they known the promoted capabilities would be delayed.
• The court has scheduled a hearing on Apple's dismissal motion for January 7, 2026.
