Apple hit with false advertising lawsuit over iPhone 16 Apple Intelligence

The news: Apple is facing a class action lawsuit over allegedly delaying, therefore falsely advertising, promised iPhone 16 Apple Intelligence features, per Axios.

  • The lawsuit was filed in the US District Court in San Jose on Wednesday and seeks unspecified financial damages on behalf of consumers who previously purchased Apple Intelligence-capable devices.
  • Apple touted its AI features for the upcoming lineup while knowing “it could not actually provide the capabilities that it was advertising,” causing “unprecedented excitement” that the company could not deliver on, per the lawsuit.
