Law firm sees opportunity to sue over Apple delaying Siri improvements

Apple Intelligence delays may lead to a class action lawsuit

A law firm claims that Apple's delay of Apple Intelligence and Siri may have violated federal security laws, and is investigating whether to file a class-action suit.

The law firm is Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman LLC, which previously had a go at suing Apple over federal security laws in 2019. That was following Tim Cook's revising of Apple's earnings estimate for the then forthcoming holiday quarter, and as yet there has been no trial or settlement.

Now Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman has announced that it is investigating whether to pursue a similar violation, based on Apple's announcement that certain Apple Intelligence features have been delayed.

"Specifically, Apple said that certain features initially announced in June 2024," says the law firm in an announcement, "including Siri's ability to tap into a user's personal information to answer queries and have more precise control over apps, will now be released sometime in 'the coming year.'"

The firm notes that Apple's stock price fell as a result of this announcement, and that Morgan Stanley consequently cut its price target. The law firm says this all means that delaying Siri will impact iPhone upgrade cycles throughout 2025 and 2026.

Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman therefore says that it is investigating whether this delay violates federal securities laws. Apple had heavily promoted the iPhone 16e as having Apple Intelligence, and if it did so while knowing the features would be delayed, it could be in violation.

The law firm seeking submissions from investors who have purchased Apple securities, and more generally, anyone who is "aware of any facts relating to this investigation."

The law firm says that Apple's stock price fell from $239.07 to $209.68 because of the delay to Siri. This was when the cited Morgan Stanley investor note had said that the absolute floor for Apple's stock price was $200.

Separately, Apple has been sued over how its Apple Intelligence adverts included features that have been delayed. That suit was filed in March 2025, but appears to ignore that every such ad included the information that the features would be coming later.

But this was all in March 2025, before the announcement of Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs. That announcement sent Apple's stock price well below $200.

Apple should be sued and punished. 

I hope Apple will learn from this lie that Apple needs to be innovative and to deliever what Apple promises.

I’m not updating until Siri improves.  It’s the same across all devices and has been since it’s inception

Stupidest thing I e ever heard. There’s no “improvement” button just sitting on a desk somewhere being criminally neglected. 

No one is forced legally to make the best product out there. If so, Google and Microsoft wouldn’t exist. 

Frivolous lawsuit. 

Sometimes something just doesn’t work out - especially when you’re trying to do things ethically and not spying on your users all the time.

Maybe Apple should not have advertised a feature that they couldn't/were not able to deliver.  Apple was desperate to "appear" relevant on AI and needed to maintain sales because they had nothing to offer.  So, they *lied* about "upcoming" features.  I upgraded thinking that an improved Siri was around the corner.  Apple chose violence.  In the end, there is nothing special about iPhone 16 that wasn't in iPhone 15.  It was all BS!   I could have saved my money and bought iPhone 17 with more built in memory and (probably) the features that were promised for iPhone 16.  Apple should pay multiple billions of dollars in fines/civil penalties for lying to its consumers.  Tim Cook should be fired for what Apple did and because he didn't hold anyone accountable for what happened.  All he has done is some reshuffling of leadership responsibilities.  Oh, please!  That is such a weak ass "leadership" move.

I’m so glad the world revolves around you. So funny when people who have zero in life like yourself, put demands on a company who has no idea who you are.
