The Siri Payout Deadline Is Days Away—How To File A Claim Now
The deadline to apply for a payout as part of the Apple Siri eavesdropping lawsuit is just days ... More away, on July 2.
The deadline to apply for a payout as part of the Apple Siri eavesdropping class action lawsuit is just days away, on July 2.
If you fail to file your claim as part of the Siri class action lawsuit, you won't have the opportunity to get your share of up to $100 dollars per person as part of the payout agreed by Apple back in Jan.
The class action alleges that Siri was listening to Apple users without their permission and serving them adverts as a result. Apple denies eavesdropping but says it has settled the case to avoid costly litigation.
Here is how to work out if you are eligible and claim your share of the Siri settlement before the deadline.
Who Is Eligible For The Siri Payout?
First things first, the Siri eavesdropping class action lawsuit applies to U.S. Apple Siri users only. Specifically, you need to have owned a Siri-enabled device such as an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or MacBook and experienced the voice assistant being activated unintentionally during a private conversation. This needs to have taken place between Sept. 17 2024 and Dec. 31 2024.
Some people who are eligible for the Siri payout will have been sent an email or postcard including a Claim Identification Code and Confirmation Code. You should use these when filling in the Claim Form.
Others who think they should be allowed to make a claim can do so by visiting the Submit a Claim page and following the instructions there.
How Much Can I Claim In The Siri Payout?
Now for the all-important question. You can claim $20 dollars for each of the Apple devices you own, up to five devices. This adds up to a maximum of $100 from the Siri eavesdropping class action lawsuit payout.
As is the case with lawsuits of this kind, the amount could be bigger or smaller pro rata depending on how many valid claims are received and how many devices included.
The total Siri class action payout is $95 million.
What Happens Next?
You have a few days until the deadline, so make sure you get your claim for the Siri class action lawsuit payout in now if you haven't already. The final approval hearing will take place on Aug.1 2025, soon after which you could get your payment.
