- Apple is paying out $95 million to people who have bought an Apple device in the last 10 years. To qualify, you must believe Siri listened in on a conversation without your consent. Eligible claimants are being sent emails and postcards, but you can make a claim on your own.
Back in January, Apple agreed to settle a case over its Siri digital assistant. Now it’s your turn to get some of that money.
Claims are now being accepted for the class-action suit. To qualify, you need to have purchased an Apple device in the past 10 years—specifically an “iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook, iMac, HomePod, iPod touch or Apple TV” between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024. You’ll also have to believe that Siri activated on that device during a private conversation without your consent.
Apple settled a lawsuit that alleged it was capturing sensitive information via Siri without users’ knowledge and approval.
People who are known to be eligible to be included in the settlement will receive either an email or a postcard with information about how to make a claim and individual codes to do so. If you don’t receive one, you can head to the settlement’s webpage to submit a new claim.
You have until July 2, 2025 to file your claim.
While $95 million is a big pool, don’t expect to pocket a ton of money from this. As you might imagine, the claim pool is fairly large, given the popularity of Apple devices and the sizable buy-in period. Most claimants will receive about $20 per device.
