Apple Agrees to Pay $250 Million Settlement to iPhone 16, iPhone 15 Pro Owners Over AI Claims

Apple launched the iPhone 16 series in September 2024 with the Cupertino-based tech giant's first smartphones to ship with its “Apple Intelligence” suite of tools, a term used by the company instead of artificial intelligence (AI). The tech giant also announced that the 2023-launched iPhone 15 Pro series will also get support for its new AI-powered functionalities. However, last year, a number of class action lawsuits by iPhone owners were reportedly filed against Apple for over-committing and under-delivering on its AI promise. Now, the company has reportedly reached an agreement to pay compensation to millions of affected consumers.
