**Apple Seeks Dismissal of Class Action Lawsuit Over Siri Delays**
*By Akash Pandey | Sep 27, 2025, 2:00 PM*
Apple has moved to dismiss a class action lawsuit filed after the company announced a delay in launching its “more personalized Siri,” initially teased at WWDC 2024. The lawsuit centers on the postponed release of two Siri-related features: Personal Context Awareness and In-App Actions.
### Apple’s Defense Strategy
Apple argues that the lawsuit’s claims, based solely on the timing of these two features, are unfounded. The company explains that the postponements were necessary to maintain its high-quality standards. It insists that such delays do not justify the legal action brought against it.
Furthermore, Apple points out that the plaintiffs are still using their iPhone 16 models and have not claimed any defects. The company emphasizes that all plaintiffs will receive the remaining Siri features at no additional cost through software updates scheduled for next year. Apple also notes that the plaintiffs have not identified any specific statements or advertisements they relied upon when purchasing their devices.
### Showcasing Delivered Features
In its defense, Apple highlights the numerous features already delivered under the “Apple Intelligence” banner. Since last fall, the company has released over 20 features, including Writing Tools, Smart Replies, Genmoji, and Image Playground. Apple describes these updates as “groundbreaking and transformative,” underscoring its commitment to consistently delivering on its promises.
### Clarifying the Rollout Process
Apple also clarifies that the rollout for Apple Intelligence features was always intended to be phased and gradual. The company states it made clear that these features would be “delivered over time and continue to evolve” as part of a planned phased rollout.
### Moving Forward
With this filing, Apple is requesting the court to dismiss the case in its entirety and avoid any further discovery or trial proceedings.
