Apple’s long-promised upgrade to Siri, part of its broader Apple Intelligence rollout, is now at the center of a growing legal battle. A second law firm has announced plans to pursue a securities class action lawsuit, claiming that Apple misled investors about the readiness and impact of its updated AI assistant.
The update to Siri was expected to launch alongside iOS 18 and play a major role in enhancing the iPhone 16 experience. However, Apple admitted the rollout would be delayed significantly—potentially missing the iPhone 16 launch entirely. This delay has not only frustrated users but also drawn scrutiny from the legal world.
Investors Claim Misleading Statements
The Rosen Law Firm is actively seeking Apple shareholders who purchased stock between June 10, 2024, and June 9, 2025. According to the firm, Apple failed to disclose that the development of its AI-driven Siri would take longer than anticipated. This, they argue, inflated investor expectations and potentially harmed iPhone 16 sales prospects.
The lawsuit alleges that Apple made “false and misleading statements” about Siri’s launch timeline. As a result, the firm claims investors suffered losses when Apple later confirmed the delays. The deadline for investors to join the case as lead plaintiffs is August 19, 2025.
Not the Only Lawsuit
Rosen Law isn’t the only firm acting on the delayed Siri rollout. In May, Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman LLC also launched an investigation into Apple’s actions. That firm stated the delay in Siri’s release caused a noticeable drop in Apple’s stock price, triggering concern among shareholders.
With two firms now pursuing action, the delayed Siri upgrade has evolved from a product development issue into a financial and legal concern. While Apple hasn’t responded publicly to the lawsuits, the situation highlights how delays in major product updates can ripple beyond consumer disappointment and into the courtroom.
