苹果于周二同意支付 2.5 亿美元，以了结一项指控，即该公司通过一项关于其语音助手Siri新 AI 功能的误导性营销活动，诱使客户购买 iPhone。
If approved, it would be one of the largest-ever settlements from Apple and result in cash payments of up to $95 for owners of roughly 37 million iPhones bought in the US.
如果获得批准，这将是苹果有史以来最大规模的赔偿之一，并为在美国购买约 3700 万部 iPhone 的用户提供最高 95 美元的现金赔付。
The lawsuit, filed by Clarkson Law Firm in San Francisco federal court for the Northern District of California, alleged Apple touted soon-to-come Siri AI features when it advertised the iPhone 16 in 2024 – but that a new-and-improved Siri still hasn’t been delivered.
这起由克拉克森律师事务所在加州北区旧金山联邦法院提起的诉讼指控称，苹果公司在 2024 年宣传 iPhone 16 时，吹嘘即将推出的 Siri 人工智能功能——但至今仍未交付这个全新升级的 Siri。
Apple customers “would not have purchased the Eligible Devices or would have paid significantly less, had they known Enhanced Siri features were not available,” the court filing said.
法庭文件称，苹果客户”如果知道增强版 Siri 功能不可用，就不会购买符合条件的设备，或者会支付低得多的价格”。
The class-action settlement covers all iPhone 16 models, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max devices bought in the US between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025.
此次集体诉讼和解涵盖所有在 2024 年 6 月 10 日至 2025 年 3 月 29 日期间于美国购买的 iPhone 16 系列机型、iPhone 15 及 iPhone 15 Pro Max 设备。
Apple device owners who qualify for a settlement payout will receive at least $25 per device, according to Clarkson Law Firm. Payouts could go up to $95 depending on other factors, including how many claims are filed, the firm said.
根据克拉克森律师事务所的说法，符合和解赔偿条件的苹果设备所有者每台设备将至少获得 25 美元赔偿。该律所表示，根据其他因素（包括提交的索赔数量），赔偿金额可能高达 95 美元。
Eligible customers will be notified by email or mail when they are able to file a claim on a settlement website, according to the notice.
根据通知内容，符合条件的客户将在能够通过和解网站提交索赔时，通过电子邮件或邮件收到通知（索赔网址https://clarksonlawfirm.com/lp/apple-intelligence-false-advertising/）。
“Since the launch of Apple Intelligence, we have introduced dozens of features across many languages that are integrated across Apple’s platforms, relevant to what users do every day, and built with privacy protections at every step,” an Apple spokesperson told The Post in a statement.
“自苹果智能功能推出以来，我们已在多种语言中引入了数十项新功能，这些功能深度整合于苹果各平台，贴近用户的日常使用场景，并在每一步都构建了隐私保护机制，” 苹果发言人在一份声明中向《华盛顿邮报》表示。
“Apple has reached a settlement to resolve claims related to the availability of two additional features. We resolved this matter to stay focused on doing what we do best, delivering the most innovative products and services to our users.”
“苹果已就解决两项额外功能可用性的相关索赔达成和解。我们解决此事是为了继续专注于我们的核心工作，即为用户提供最具创新性的产品和服务。”
During its annual conference in June 2024, Apple previewed several AI-powered features coming soon to iPhones, including an advanced version of Siri.
在 2024 年 6 月的年度开发者大会上，苹果预览了即将登陆 iPhone 的多项 AI 驱动功能，其中包括一个高级版本的 Siri。
Instead, the Cupertino, Calif.-based company gradually rolled out new AI features to devices, including Visual Intelligence, Live Translation, Writing Tools, Genmoji and Clean Up.
相反，这家位于加州库比蒂诺的公司逐步向设备推出了新的人工智能功能，包括视觉智能、实时翻译、写作工具、Genmoji 和清理功能。
The launch of its AI-enhanced Siri is now expected later this year, most likely at its conference next month.
其 AI 增强版 Siri 的发布预计将在今年晚些时候进行，很可能是在下个月的发布会上。
In the meantime, Apple’s products “offered a significantly limited or entirely absent version of Apple Intelligence, misleading consumers about its actual utility and performance,” alleged the lawsuit, which was filed last year.
与此同时，诉讼指控苹果公司的产品 “提供了功能显著受限或完全缺失的苹果智能版本，误导了消费者对其实际效用和性能的理解”。该诉讼于去年提起。
