Apple Will Pay Some iPhone Buyers Up to $95 for AI That Did Not Work

ADEQUATE ASSESSMENT

Apple shipped an ai feature that did not function as advertised. Buyers paid for the phone including the broken feature. The settlement is ninety-five dollars per affected device. Apple retains the value of non-delivery. The feature remains broken or was quietly removed.

Tech companies regularly ship incomplete products and treat litigation costs as feature expenses. The settlement math reflects this. Ninety-five dollars is payment for the learning that the company failed. Someone will review how this happened. That review will not examine the decision to ship broken code.

Buyers will receive ninety-five dollars. Apple will deduct this from tax returns as a loss. The next ios version will contain a different broken feature. This is the cycle.
