Apple users may want to check their mailboxes and spam folders, as payments have started to roll out after the $95 million settlement over the"unintended" use of Siri across devices. In January 2025, Apple settled a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of current or former owners or purchasers of a Siri-enabled device, specifically: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook, iMac, HomePod, iPod touch or Apple TV, whose confidential or private communications were allegedly obtained by Apple and/or shared with third parties as a result of an unintended Siri activation. People who owned or purchased a Siri-enabled device that experienced unintended Siri activation during a confidential and private conversation between Sept. 17, 2014, and Dec. 31, 2024, were eligible to file claims. The settlement is slated to allocate the $95 million in proportional amounts of up to $20 per Siri device. The amount will increase or decrease depending on the number of valid settlement claims and the number of Siri devices claimed. While a court judge will determine the final amount lawyers acting on behalf of consumers will get paid, the attorneys requested up to 30% of the settlement fund, litigation expenses of up to $1.1 million and up to $10,000 for each of the main people who filed the lawsuit as consumers on behalf of all consumers."If you received an email or postcard with a Claim Identification Code and a Confirmation Code notifying you about the Settlement, use these codes when making a claim," the Lopez v. Apple Inc. class action lawsuit"The court did not decide in favor of the plaintiffs or Apple. Instead, both sides agreed to a settlement. That way, they avoid the costs and risks of a trial, and the allegedly affected settlement class members can get benefits or compensation," the settlement website reads."The class representatives and their attorneys think the settlement is best for the class." Settlement check distribution began on January 23, 2026. Physical checks, as well as ACH deposits and digital checks, may take some time to arrive.
