Siri-ously Expensive: Apple’s $95M Settlement Over Privacy Blunders
Apple’s paying $95 million to settle claims that Siri eavesdropped on users without the “hey Siri” prompt. Eligible Siri device owners in the US from 2014-2024 can claim up to $20 per gadget, proving that sometimes it’s Siri who should mind her own business, not just ours.

Oh Siri, you naughty little eavesdropper! Apple’s $95 million ‘oopsie’ fund is here to patch up all those unintentional “Hey Siri, who’s listening?” moments. Let’s just hope they don’t activate Siri’s sarcasm mode when handing out those settlements!
