Lawsuit Against Apple in US Court Over Apple Intelligence Features

Apple is facing a lawsuit in the U.S. over false advertising charges related to its Apple Intelligence features, Tech Crunch reported. The lawsuit filed in the US District Court in San Jose, claims that Apple misled consumers by marketing its AI capabilities under the tagline “Built for Apple Intelligence,” making them believe that features would be available for launch.

The plaintiff argued that Apple Intelligence would be operational from the moment customers purchased their devices. However, the lawsuit found that these features were either limited or remained absent upon release, making Apple’s claims deceptive.

The lawsuit stated, “Contrary to Defendant’s claims of advanced AI capabilities, the Products offered a significantly limited or entirely absent version of Apple Intelligence, misleading consumers about its actual utility and performance. Worse yet, Defendant promoted its Products based on these overstated AI capabilities, leading consumers to believe they were purchasing a device with features that did not exist or were materially misrepresented.”

Notably, the lawsuit seeks damages for consumers who purchased Apple Intelligence-capable iPhones and other Apple devices believing the above-mentioned claims.
