Ohio Siri Users Could Be Owed Money
In January 2025, Apple agreed to a $95 million settlement in the Lopez v. Apple Inc. class-action lawsuit, addressing claims that Siri recorded private conversations without consent from September 17, 2014, to December 31, 2024. Consequently, U.S. residents who owned Siri-enabled devices like iPhones, iPads, or HomePods during this period may be eligible for up to $20 per device, with a cap of five devices ($100 total). Here’s how to file your claim before the July 2, 2025, deadline.
Eligibility Requirements
To qualify, you must have experienced an unintended Siri activation during a private conversation. Moreover, you need to reside in the U.S. and have owned or purchased a Siri-enabled device within the specified timeframe. For instance, devices include iPhones, Apple Watches, MacBooks, and more. However, the final payout may vary based on the number of valid claims submitted.
Steps to File a Claim
First, visit the official settlement website at lopezvoiceassistantsettlement.com. Next, click “Submit Claim” and enter your Claim Identification Code and Confirmation Code if you received a notice. If not, select “New Claim” and provide your name, address, Apple ID email, and either proof of purchase or device serial numbers. Then, declare under oath that you experienced an unintended Siri activation. Finally, choose your payment method—direct deposit, electronic check, or physical check.
Key Deadlines and Next Steps
Claims must be submitted by July 2, 2025. A final approval hearing is scheduled for August 1, 2025, after which payments will be processed, pending any appeals. Therefore, act promptly to secure your share of this settlement.
