In a significant development, Apple has agreed to pay a substantial $250 million to settle a lawsuit related to its AI-powered virtual assistant, Siri. The lawsuit, which was filed in the United States, claimed that Apple's use of certain AI features in its iPhone 15 and 16 models infringed on patents held by a company called Voysis. The settlement is expected to benefit millions of iPhone users in the US, with eligible individuals potentially receiving up to $95 per device. This reimbursement is a result of Apple's agreement to settle the lawsuit out of court, avoiding a potentially lengthy and costly trial.
