Apple Settlement Portal Opens for Delayed Siri AI Claims

The portal lets eligible U.S. buyers file claims for a share of a $250 million fund with payments set by claim volume and court approval.

Overview

  • Claims opened Monday, September 21, 2026, on the official settlement site and will remain open through December 21, 2026.
  • U.S. residents who bought an eligible iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max or any iPhone 16 model between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 can file a claim.
  • Each valid claim initially pays an estimated $25 per device but the amount will be adjusted pro rata and capped at $95 after notice, admin costs, taxes, and attorneys’ fees are deducted.
  • Claimants must confirm ownership with a device serial number or an Apple Account email and phone number, Verita Global is administering the process, and the same December 21 deadline applies to opt-outs and objections.
  • The suit traces to Apple’s June 2024 WWDC previews and a March 2025 rollout delay; Apple denies wrongdoing and a court will hold a final approval hearing on February 24, 2027 before any payments are distributed.
