Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You bought one of these models new in the US: iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, 16, 16e, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, or 16 Pro Max
  • You bought it between 10 June 2024 and 29 March 2025
  • No other iPhone models qualify — an iPhone 14 or an iPhone 16 bought outside that window is not eligible
  • No receipt is required. You provide the phone's serial number (Settings > General > About) instead, which the administrator checks against Apple's own purchase records
  • If you no longer have the serial number, you can instead give your Apple Account email and the phone number used with that iPhone
  • This pays per device — if you bought two eligible iPhones, you file a separate claim for each one

How Much Can You Get?

The published range is $25 to $95 per eligible iPhone. $25 is the floor; the figure rises toward $95 if fewer people file, and falls if more do, since the $250 million fund is shared among however many valid claims come in. Because payment is tied to the device rather than the household, someone who bought two qualifying iPhones during the window can file two claims and be paid for each.

How to File Your Claim

File with the administrator:

  • Find the serial number: on the phone itself, go to Settings > General > About. It is also on the original box or receipt
  • Confirm the model and purchase date fall inside the window above
  • File online at the official site, SmartphoneAISettlement.com, or let Class Action Buddy fill the form in, print it and post it for you
  • Digital payment is online-only. The claim form states that PayPal-style digital payment requires filing on the settlement website; a posted paper form is paid by cheque to the address you put on it. Choose the route that matches how you want to be paid
  • File once per eligible iPhone if you bought more than one
  • Submit before 21 December 2026
