Real-world productivity improvements due to AI in terms of actual metrics or financial outcomes remain stubbornly undemonstrated.

Really? If a company advertises a new red version of their widget and I excitedly upgrade because I love red, but when it comes it's gray just like the old widget, don't I have a case? Surely I don't need to demonstrate that red makes me more productive.

In Australia the regulators pursue such things. https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/jayco-in-court-over-of...

I think you would just return it, not sue them.

So is Apple accepting returns from all iPhone 16 owners?
