**Did Siri Eavesdrop? Apple’s $95 Million Settlement Could Mean Money for You**
Have you owned an iPhone, iPad, or other Apple device with Siri in the last decade? You might be eligible for a payout from a $95 million settlement resolving a class-action lawsuit against Apple.
The lawsuit, *Lopez v. Apple Inc.*, alleges that Apple surreptitiously activated Siri on its devices between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024, to record private conversations without user consent. Apple denies any wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to resolve the claims.
If you owned a Siri-enabled device (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook, iMac, HomePod, iPod touch, or Apple TV) and experienced unintended Siri activation during confidential conversations, you may be eligible. Notices may have been sent via email or mail, containing a Claim Identification Code and Confirmation Code. If you received a notice, use those codes when filing a claim.
Even if you didn’t receive a notification, you can still submit a claim if you believe you’re eligible. The deadline to file a claim is **July 2nd**. Visit the *Lopez v. Apple Inc.* website to file your claim online. Claims can include up to five Siri devices. You’ll need the serial and model number for each device. Payment options include a physical check, electronic check, or direct deposit.
The settlement aims to provide up to $20 per Siri device, with the final amount subject to adjustment based on the total number of valid claims.
A final approval hearing is scheduled for August 1st. If the settlement is approved and no appeals are filed, the hearing will determine when payments will be distributed. Don’t miss your chance to claim your share of the settlement!
