Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class-action lawsuit filed due to the delayed launch of Siri AI. Under this development, eligible iPhone users are expected to receive up to $95 in compensation.

Although the settlement received preliminary approval last month, court documents indicate that the final approval process will take longer than expected. New information added to the case documents clearly shows that the process will extend into next year.

Final Decision Expected Until 2027

The judge presiding over the case decided last week that the final approval hearing will be held on February 24, 2027. After this date, a waiting period of several more months will be necessary before payments begin.

Currently, users do not need to take any action. The official website and application form for submitting compensation claims are not yet active.
