apple class action lawsuit is still open and the per-device payout structure is worth understanding
the apple class action lawsuit involves siri recording conversations through accidental activation without user consent. covered period is 2014 to 2024 and the payout is up to $100 per eligible device, no proof required. what makes this one particularly broad is that it covers any siri-enabled device. iphone, ipad, apple watch, macbook, homepod. multiple devices during that ten-year window means multiple claims at $100 each.
the $95 million settlement fund has a fixed per-device cap rather than a pro-rata structure. your payout doesn't shrink if more people file. the concern is whether the fund holds out across all claimants rather than dilution. filing is free on the official claims site and takes about 10 minutes for the first device. additional devices go faster. you're just confirming device type and the approximate years you owned it.
