Apple’s Siri and Apple Intelligence false-advertising settlement treats every eligible iPhone as its own claim, and the administrator’s website sets no ceiling on how many devices one person can file for. The claim period opened September 21, 2026 and closes December 21, 2026, with a posted payment of $25 per device that can rise to $95 or fall with claim volume. A household that bought several of the seven covered models inside the purchase window therefore faces several forms rather than one.
One form per phone: The Settlement & Refund Recovery System includes a claim log and payment tracker and the four-date rule for reading a settlement notice, two tools for keeping several same-deadline claims straight.

Seven iPhone models, bought inside a ten-month window
The covered devices are the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16, iPhone 16e, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. According to the settlement website run by the claims administrator, Verita Global, the purchase has to have happened in the United States between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025.
The case is Landsheft v. Apple, No. 5:25-cv-02668-NW, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, as listed in classaction.org’s settlement index. The same index lists the final approval hearing for February 24, 2027, which is also the date on the administrator’s page. The court docket itself could not be opened for this report, so the administrator’s site is the controlling record for every date and amount below.
The rule that multiplies the paperwork
The wording on the administrator’s page is plain: “If you purchased more than one Eligible Device, you must submit a separate Claim Form for each device.” The page states no limit on how many devices one claimant may submit, and the payment is described per device, not per person or per household.
That structure matters for families who upgraded together. A household that bought three covered models would file three separate forms. Using the page’s own range as arithmetic, three devices would sit between $75 at the base rate and $285 at the posted maximum, a spread that is a description of the formula and not a prediction of any check.
A payment that can move in both directions
The page says the $25 per eligible device “may be increased pro rata, up to a maximum of $95 per Eligible Device,” and also that it may decrease depending on how many claims arrive. Pro rata means the amount depends on the total number of valid claims, a figure that will not be known until the window shuts on December 21.
No payment date appears on the page. The settlement still needs the court’s final approval, and the February 24, 2027 hearing is the next scheduled step. Until that hearing, the $25 to $95 figures are the administrator’s posted terms, not a settled payout.
How a claim is filed, and what it costs
Claims go in through the administrator’s own site, with online and mail submission both listed, and the page names no fee and no paid intermediary. The administrator lists a contact page for questions. Filing therefore runs directly between the claimant and the administrator, and nothing on the page suggests that outside help is part of the process.
The page also carries an opt-out and objection deadline of December 21, 2026, the same day claims close. Someone who wants out of the class to pursue a separate case, or who wants to object to the terms, runs on the same clock as someone filing a claim, and the two choices are not interchangeable.
Each claim form wants its own serial number
The administrator requires a device serial number for a claim. The page says it can be found under Settings, then General, then About, or on the original packaging or receipt. For a single phone that is a one-minute lookup. For a household, it means collecting serial numbers from several handsets, some of which may have been traded in, passed to a relative or replaced since the 2024 and 2025 purchase window.
A claim for a phone that is no longer on hand depends on whether the box or receipt survived, since the serial number is what ties each form to a specific eligible device. Nothing on the page says one form can list multiple devices, and the stated rule points the other way.
The official route stays free of any required middleman: the administrator’s website at smartphoneaisettlement.com accepts claims directly, and its own page, last confirmed open on October 2, 2026, is the record that settles any question about dates.
Several phones, several forms, one December date
The Siri settlement’s per-device rule leaves a household with a list to manage: which iPhones fall inside the June 2024 to March 2025 window, which serial numbers belong to which forms, and which of those forms have actually been submitted before December 21. The administrator’s page announces no payment date, so each claim also needs a record that holds up for months.
The Settlement & Refund Recovery System pairs a claim log with deadline countdowns and a payment tracker with the four-date rule for reading a settlement notice, so each device’s form and its status sit in one place.
