In January, Apple agreed to pay $95 million as the result of a class action lawsuit in California. The class action lawsuit alleged that Apple was infringing its users’ privacy by capturing Siri conversations without their knowledge or consent and sharing this with advertisers. Today is the last day to claim your share of Apple’s $95 million settlement.. The Siri settlement has now been approved in the case of Lopez v. Apple Inc: “A settlement has been reached with Apple Inc. in a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of current or former owners or purchasers of a Siri-enabled iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook, iMac, HomePod, iPod touch, or Apple TV whose confidential or private communications were allegedly obtained by Apple and/or shared with third parties as a result of an unintended Siri activation Apple denies all of the allegations made in the lawsuit and denies that [it] did anything improper or unlawful,” the Lopez v. Apple Inc reads. Anyone who lives in the U.S., owned a Siri-enabled device, and experienced an unintended activation of the voice assistant during a confidential or private communication between Sept. 17, 2014 and Dec. 31, 2024, can make a claim. If you owned an Apple device such as an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or MacBook and Siri activated unintentionally during that period, you should have received an email or postcard including a Claim identification Code and Confirmation Code. If you didn’t receive one of these and you think you are eligible for the Siri payout, you can still apply by stating under oath that you experienced Siri activating by accident and that your private conversations were recorded by the voice assistant. If you fit the criteria to claim for the Siri eavesdropping payout, you can claim $20 for each of the devices you use, up to five Apple devices, so $100 max. MacDailyNews Take: If you received the email or postcard, use the “Claimant Identification” (“Notice ID”) and “Confirmation” codes when making a claim via the claim form. If you didn’t receive the email or postcard, yet are still eligible to claim, go to the Submit a Claim page and follow the instructions on how to submit a Claim Form. Again, the claim deadline is July 2, 2025. Support MacDailyNews at no extra cost to you by using this link to shop at Amazon.
