Overview

  • The $95 million settlement resolves allegations that Siri-enabled devices inadvertently recorded private conversations and shared data with third parties, though Apple denies any wrongdoing.
  • Eligible users are those who owned Siri-enabled devices between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024, and experienced unintended Siri activations during private conversations.
  • Claims can be filed online through a dedicated portal, with payments capped at $20 per device and $100 per person, depending on the number of valid claims submitted.
  • Notifications with claim codes were sent to eligible users via email or postcard, but claims can still be submitted without a code by providing device details.
  • A final court hearing to approve the settlement is scheduled for August 1, 2025, after which payments will be distributed if no appeals are filed.
