Siri Lawsuit: Apple Agrees to Pay Owners of These iPhone Models

[iMac The Knife]

Awwwwww man! Too bad I didn't buy any of these iPhones. I'd really like to be able to buy absolutely nothing with the .16 cents I would have eventually received from this class action lawsuit.

Remember: ...iPhone users could receive up to a $95 payout.

We bought 3 of those phones in our house but none purchased during those months, this sucks.

15 Pro: September 2023
2x 16 Pro: April 2025

This one is $85-$95 bucks.

$25 per device to a max of $95. Not sure how that math makes sense, but whatev.

Why you don't agree with iPads and Mac??? Like come on why the hell would you pay somebody who bought an iPhone 15 pro and not me with my m4 MacBook Pro + M2 iPad Air !!! Should I sue Apple?

Why us only ?

Lawyers are standing by to make your dreams come true if they haven't already started the process.

 

[Alan-in-CO]

These class action lawsuits are a joke. In the last two multimillion lawsuits, I was a part of, I received a check for less than two dollars. The last Apple lawsuit promised $25 per device up to four devices. When the check came, it was less than half that amount.

Lol just the price of doing business for Apple. Lawyers got a solid pay day though!

So what do you prefer?

Just let megacorps get away with this stuff completely?

Probably cheaper for us.

Get away with what? How, exactly, were you negatively affected by this? Would you have chosen a different OS had you known of the delays? Does the $100 make it all better?

Doesn't Apple have complete records of their customers from card to address and phone number? Wouldn't it make more sense if the payment was mailed, or better, deposited into their apple cash? Waiting for the filing from the consumers won't cover all eligible people because lots of them don't even know about the lawsuit.

Some people love the walled garden of Apple. Others want an open garden that Apple will never allow.

I agree but my comment was on switching because of android finally getting Face ID.

 

[Corefile]

Why isn't my iPhone 6s on the list? It's a Pro phone.

Millions of customer bought the iPhone 16 specifically for Apple Intelligence. These customers did not need a new phone they wanted Apple Intelligence and Apple lied and coerced the money out of their pockets. /s

Once Android phones have Face ID then more people will switch over. That probably won't happen until 2027 at the earliest.

Android phones have had a Face ID equivalent (Face Unlock) for years now. Google Pixel 7 has had it since 2022.

 

[zenmacx]

What about my 13 Mini?
With how we are getting dragged, I should be getting paid for remaining a customer at all!

☺️

It’s a double edged sword.

On one hand, yes you are getting dragged.

On the other hand you get to enjoy a particularly nice iPhone… I know I had one 😆

True confessions, I loved my mini 😎

 

[minik]

Time to submit for two devices even delayed Siri features weren’t my concern.

Android phones have had a Face ID equivalent (Face Unlock) for years now. Google Pixel 7 has had it since 2022.

I think he was talking about this news article, which says their FaceID hardware equivalent is skipping the Pixel 11, so would be on the Pixel 12 in 2027.

Google's new face unlock hardware reportedly not debuting in Pixel 11 after all

According to a Pixel 11 leak, Google’s next flagship smartphone lineup won’t be adopting the new “Project Toscana” face unlock...

9to5google.com

The current face unlock on Pixel works great... IF you have good lighting. It is not equivalent to FaceID though.
And the Samsung implementation just unlocks your phone, but you still need your fingerprint for payments because it is not as secure as the Pixel implementation.

I’d still love to know how that ad ever was green lit. It’s entirely possible we won’t have that functionality yet with iOS 27.

 

[zenmacx]

As a current iPhone 16 Pro Max owner I must say I was both delighted and disappointed in Apple.

Delighted because I don’t rely on AI, and didn’t choose this model because of it.

Disappointed in Apple’s handling of their AI debacle.

As a long time customer it’s nice to admire the company’s innovation, but AI isn’t in their list of accomplishments.

Precisely!

That ad is particularly offensive.

 

[dlopan]

25? give me a break. almost not worth the hassle

 

[Rradcircless]

Apple's AI is so dusted that they have to pay a fine. 😂

No worries though, Gemini will get this sorted.

Their AI is absolutely busted. Today I asked Siri to set my lights to 50%. It simply switched them on. This happened every time I asked.

 

[Quicksilver867]

Laugh all you want but that gets you 2 hot dogs and two unlimited refill soft drinks at Costco. 😎

Honestly fantastic point. I'd take that.

That's never going to happen because Face ID is trademarked by Apple.😉

Android has had face unlock for years. My old OnePlus Nord N10 5G has it and it's over 5 years old. I much prefer the fingerprint unlock (Touch ID) to the face unlock. I have that special talent where I can stop a clock by looking at it.😞

$25 per device to a max of $95. Not sure how that math makes sense, but whatev.

Lawyers take their 30%-40%, the rest is shared by the victims. $25 is the minimum is because that's the plantiff's cut divided by the total number of affected iPhones sold. If fewer people claim, more $$$ is available to those who do claim. I'm guessing $95 is the max because that's about 1/4 of the affected iPhone owners have already filed a claim. They're waiting on more people who want a piece of that pie.
