In May, Apple agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class-action lawsuit in the United States over the delayed launch of Siri AI, and eligible iPhone users could receive up to $95 in payments.

The judge who presided over the case last week set the final approval hearing for Feb. 24, 2027, and payments won’t begin until several months after that date.
