Apple faces a securities fraud class action lawsuit from shareholders for allegedly misrepresenting the timeline for integrating advanced AI into Siri.
The lawsuit alleges that Apple's claims on AI advancements impacted iPhone sales and stock price negatively.
CEO Tim Cook, CFO Kevan Parekh, and former CFO Luca Maestri are named as defendants in the lawsuit.
Shareholders claimed Apple lacked a functional prototype of AI-based Siri features promised for iPhone 16 devices.
Apple's stock value plunged nearly one-fourth since December 2024, erasing about $900 billion in market value.
The lawsuit contends that Apple's announcements on AI progress were not met with actual developments as disclosed.
The case is filed as Tucker v. Apple Inc et al in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California.
