Apple Settles Siri Privacy Lawsuit for $95 Million: What You Need to Know
Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit that accused the company of using Siri to eavesdrop on customers. The lawsuit claimed that Apple activated Siri on iPhones and other devices to record conversations without the users' knowledge or consent. The proposed settlement also covers consumers who owned Siri-equipped devices from September 2014 through the end of last year. If approved, eligible consumers can file claims for up to $20 per device, but the payment could be reduced or increased depending on the volume of claims. Attorneys who filed the lawsuit may seek up to $29.6 million from the settlement fund to cover their fees and expenses.
