The wait for Apple customers to see payments from a class-action lawsuit involving iPhones 15 and 16 just got a few months shorter.
On Thursday, Aug. 13, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted permission to move a final approval hearing for the Apple settlement from September 2027 to February 2027, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY. The settlement is part of a class-action lawsuit alleging that Apple deceived customers about artificial intelligence enhancements in new iPhones in 2024. In May, Apple agreed to pay $250 million to settle the case.
The lawsuit accuses Apple of marketing new AI technology, including Siri enhancements, while advertising the iPhone 16 at the time. However, the device did not contain the features when it was released, according to court filings. Apple denied the allegations.
Here's what to know about the ongoing lawsuit.
Peter Landsheft of California brought the lawsuit against Apple in March 2025. Several other plaintiffs have since joined the case.
