If you have ever made a double taketake after this too specific display has come across your Apple device, you may be entitled to money.

Apple has approved an agreement of over 95 million US dollars in a class procedure in which the tech giant was accused of taking up the private conversations of the users without their consent after they have unintentionally activated the iOS language assistant Siri.

Lopez against Apple was originally submitted in 2021 and claims that “confidential or private communications allegedly received from Apple and/or shared to third parties based on unintentional Siri activation”. People who owned or bought certain Siri-capable devices in the ten-year period from 2014 to 2024 have a payment as part of the comparison that Apple approved while rejecting misconduct.

Here you will find what you should know about Apple about Lopez and how they may be influenced.

What is the Lopez against Apple lawsuit?

The complaint at the core of Lopez against Apple is a violation of privacy. The class action, which was submitted to a federal court in California in 2021, claims that Apple records the private conversations of the users without consent.

The records were supposedly occurred after the user Siri, the legendary integrated AI language assistant, who had been prescribed by pressing buttons or “Hey, Siri” or was “hey, siri” loudly. Usually people use the “Hey, Siri” function to determine memories, send or read texts, to control smart home devices and other such functions freely.

As every Apple user knows, however, it is easy to activate the function unintentionally by saying “Siri” or something that sounds similar in the presence of siri-capable devices or incorrectly presses a button. The lawsuit states that the confidential or private communication of consumers allegedly received from Apple and then sold to third -party providers.

The users claimed that they had seen advertisements on their phones for certain brands after they had discussed loudly, and others said their devices listened to them without saying anything to activate Siri at all. In the initial lawsuit, which was submitted on March 17, 2021, an article by The Guardian from 2019 quotes in which Apple’s third -party entrepreneur regularly heard confidential information. At that time, Apple said that only a small part of the data was shared to improve Siri and dictation.

Which settlement was reached in Lopez against Apple?

Apple denied the allegations made in the complaint in accordance with the legal announcement raised by USA Today, but ultimately agreed to an agreement of over 95 million US dollars.

On the FAQ page of the lawsuit it says that a court hearing for approval of the comparison is temporarily planned for August 1st. If the comparison amount is approved, those who have claimed part of the payment will be sent their part.

Who qualifies for a comparison payment?

Customers who had or bought a Siri-capable device and experienced an unintentional Siri activation between September 17, 2014 and December 31, 2024 during a confidential or private communication are entitled to raise a claim in the settlement.

Devices that qualify as part of the lawsuit include iPhones, iPads, Apple watches, MacBooks, iMacs, Apple TV streaming boxes, HomePod speakers and iPod touch.

Payments for each device are limited to 20 US dollars, but applicants may receive less, depending on the total number of claims submitted. Each person can assert up to five devices, which leads to a maximum payout of $ 100.

How to claim in Lopez v. Apple submitted

The Lopez Voice Assistant accounting website enables Apple customers to claim part of the billing. Some users received an e -mail or postcard with a claim identification code and a confirmation code with which the claim can be asserted. If not, you can submit one online until the deadline of July 2, 2025.
