The $250 million Apple iPhone 16 class action settlement awaits preliminary approval from the court. If preliminary approval is granted, the deal will cover all purchasers of the iPhone 16, iPhone 16e, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max who reside in the United States and bought an eligible device for purposes other than resale from June 10, 2024 to March 29, 2025.

Under the proposed deal, Apple iPhone 16 settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form can receive a cash payment of approximately $25 per eligible device they purchased.
The class action settlement agreement notes that the final amount of the per-device cash payout may be adjusted up or down on a pro rata basis, depending on the total number of valid claims submitted, but cash payments will be capped at $95 per class member.
ClassAction.org will update this page with information on how to submit an Apple iPhone 16 settlement claim form as it is released by the settlement administrator.
Additionally, the settlement agreement states that Apple anticipates delivering Siri Apple Intelligence features in future software updates at no additional cost to consumers.
The court will determine whether to grant the Apple iPhone 16 settlement final approval following a hearing scheduled for a later date. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.
The Apple iPhone 16 class action lawsuit claimed that the tech company violated consumer protection laws when it launched an advertising campaign touting the iPhone 16’s AI-powered “Enhanced Siri” feature, despite the advertised features being unavailable. The suit alleged that consumers were fraudulently induced to pay for the desired features and did not receive the benefit of their bargain.
