Have you bought an Apple product recently? You might be able to qualify as a participant in the class action lawsuit regarding Siri, it's digital assistant listening to conversations without the owner's consent.

If Siri was activated without your knowledge during a private conversation, you may be eligible to claim.

Claiming your settlement: What you need to know

If you are eligible for the settlement, you will either receive an email or a postcard with information about how to make a claim and individual codes to do so. However, if you don't receive any of these options, you can directly head to the settlement's webpage to submit a new claim. The deadline to file your claim is July 2, 2025.

While the total amount of the settlement is a very high amount, you should not expect to get rich over it. Considering the number of Apple users affected, most people can expect to receive around $20 per device, but the exact amount will depend on the number of claimants.
