In May, Apple [agreed to pay $250 million](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/05/05/apple-class-action-siri-lawsuit-settlement/) to settle a U.S. class action lawsuit over Siri AI's delayed launch, and eligible iPhone users could receive up to a $95 payout. Apple's settlement received preliminary approval last month, but final approval is not expected until next year, according to a [new court document](https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.446692/gov.uscourts.cand.446692.97.0.pdf).

The judge presiding over the case last week set the final approval hearing for February 24, 2027, and payments will not begin for several months beyond that date. For now, no action is required from customers, as the settlement website with a claims form has yet to go live. We will continue to provide updates on the case as they become available.Tags: [Apple Lawsuits](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/lawsuit/), [Siri](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/siri/), [Siri AI](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/siri-ai/)
