Overview

• The $95 million settlement resolves a 2021 class-action lawsuit alleging Siri recorded private conversations without consent and shared them with third parties.
• Apple denies any wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to avoid further litigation, citing policy changes made in 2019 to enhance user privacy.
• Eligible users include those who owned Siri-enabled devices between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024, and experienced unintended Siri activations during private conversations.
• Claims allow up to $20 per device, capped at five devices per person, with the final payout amount depending on the total number of valid claims submitted.
• A final court hearing is scheduled for August 1, 2025, to approve the settlement; payments will be processed promptly if no appeals are filed.
