US EditionSiri Settlement | What the Tech?
- Apple agreed in January 2025 to a $95 million settlement over a class-action lawsuit alleging unintended Siri activations recorded private conversations on multiple Apple devices.
- In 2019, Fumiko Lopez filed a lawsuit in California alleging that Siri captured audio without user permission over a period starting in mid-September 2014 through the end of 2024, raising concerns about the sharing of such data with third-party companies.

- Claimants may receive up to $20 per device, capped at $100 total, but this amount may decrease depending on the number of valid claims, and final approval is scheduled for August 1, 2025.
- Apple denies wrongdoing, stating it did not use Siri data for advertising and pledges ongoing privacy improvements, while claimants waive future legal challenges upon receiving payments.
