Apple agrees to $95 million settlement over Siri eavesdropping claims

Apple will pay $95 million to settle a class-action lawsuit claiming Siri recorded users' conversations without consent. Users of Siri-enabled devices from 2014 to 2019 may receive at least $20 each. Apple denies any wrongdoing. The lawsuit arose after a whistleblower reported that contractors overheard private conversations during quality checks. Allegations included Siri activating unintentionally and capturing sensitive discussions, which were then allegedly used for targeted advertising. Eligible claimants must be U.S. residents who owned a Siri-enabled device during the specified period. They can file claims through a website set to launch within 45 days, with a deadline of May 15, 2025.
