Apple is set to pay millions in a settlement over privacy allegations regarding accidental Siri activations from 2014 to 2024. This follows a 2019 whistleblower report revealing that contractors heard intimate recordings via Siri. A lawsuit led by Fumiko Lopez called for class-action status, claiming Apple violated privacy rights in home settings. Although Apple denied wrongdoing, it has agreed to a $95 million settlement to compensate affected users, pending court approval. The settlement aims to address privacy concerns and restore consumer trust.
If you've owned an iPhone, Apple Watch or one of several other devices made by the Bay Area tech giant, and noticed - at any point from September 2014 to the end of 2024 - that the device's Siri voice tech activated on accident, you're likely in for a small, easy payday.
Apple intentionally, willfully, and knowingly violated consumers' privacy rights, including within the sanctity of consumers' own homes where they have the greatest expectation of privacy.
