Earlier, in a bid to resolve a class-action lawsuit initiated by American consumers due to the postponement of the new AI-driven Siri, Apple put forward a settlement proposal amounting to $250 million (equivalent to roughly RMB 1.7 billion). This proposal has now been granted preliminary approval by a judge. The controversy stemmed from the unveiling of the brand-new, personalized Siri, enhanced with Apple Intelligence, at Apple's WWDC 2024 event. This advanced voice assistant boasted the ability to read emails and text messages, comprehend on-screen content, and seamlessly integrate with a multitude of apps. Following the announcement, Apple vigorously promoted this cutting-edge feature across its official website, during product launches, and through television advertisements. Nevertheless, by March 2025, Apple made an official announcement regarding the postponement of this feature's release.
