Apple is facing a lawsuit in federal court over alleged false advertising related to its delayed Apple Intelligence features.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court in San Jose, seeks class-action status and damages for consumers who purchased Apple Intelligence-capable iPhones and other devices. Plaintiffs argue that Apple misled customers by failing to deliver the promised AI capabilities.
“Apple’s advertisements [cultivated] a clear and reasonable consumer expectation that these transformative features would be available upon the iPhone’s release,” the complaint states. “Contrary to defendant’s claims of advanced AI capabilities, the products offered a significantly limited or entirely absent version of Apple Intelligence, misleading consumers about its actual utility and performance.”
