Apple Agrees to $95M Settlement Over Siri Privacy Lawsuit

Apple agreed to a preliminary $95 million settlement (subject to approval by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White) resolving claims that Siri recorded conversations without deliberate activation and shared data with third parties, leading to targeted ads; class members may receive up to $20 per Siri-enabled device for a period spanning September 17, 2014 to December 31, 2024, while Apple denies wrongdoing; plaintiffs’ counsel may seek $28.5 million in fees and $1.1 million in expenses, and a similar lawsuit against Google remains pending.
