Apple is fighting back against a class action lawsuit accusing it of misleading customers over its delayed Apple Intelligence features. The company filed a motion to dismiss the case, arguing the claims rest on the timing of just two features and fail to show any actual harm.
The legal dispute began after Apple announced in March that its “more personalized Siri,” would not launch as planned. Consumers soon filed a lawsuit accusing Apple of false advertising. They argued they would have paid less for the iPhone 16 or avoided buying it if they had known about the feature delays.
Apple argued in court documents this week that the judge should dismiss the lawsuit because it focuses only on Siri Personal Context Awareness and Siri In-App Actions. The company said it postponed these two capabilities to meet its “high quality standards” and still plans to release them next year at no extra cost.
“Plaintiffs cannot and do not allege that the iPhone 16 models they purchased are defective,” Apple wrote. It emphasized that all plaintiffs continue to use their devices and will receive the delayed features through future software updates. The company also pointed out that the lawsuit fails to specify which statements or advertisements the customers relied on when buying their phones.
