Apple to Pay $95 Million for Siri Privacy Breach – How You Can Claim Your Share

If you own an iPhone, there’s a surprising piece of news you need to know. Apple has been ordered to pay $95 million (equivalent to approximately 26 billion Pakistani rupees) after a shocking privacy breach involving its voice assistant, Siri. Let’s break down what happened and how you might be eligible to claim your share.

The Beginning of the Privacy Scandal

Apple has always marketed itself as a company that values user privacy. However, a court case has revealed that Siri may have been doing something unexpected. It was discovered that Siri was allegedly listening to private conversations and leaking user data to advertisers.

Imagine talking to a friend about wanting to buy a specific car. Soon after, ads for that exact car start popping up on your screen. This raised serious concerns about whether Siri was secretly recording conversations and passing that information to advertisers.

The Case Against Apple

A lawsuit was filed, accusing Apple of violating user privacy by using Siri to eavesdrop on conversations and then sharing that data with advertisers. When the case was investigated, it was found that Apple had indeed breached user privacy in this way.

Apple initially denied all allegations, but the court ruled against the tech giant. The verdict? Apple must compensate its users a total of $95 million.

Who Is Eligible for Compensation?

The settlement applies to individuals who have used an iPhone, iPad, or any other Apple product with Siri between 2014 and 2025. If you meet this criterion, you are eligible to claim compensation.

How Much Money Can You Receive?

Here’s how it works:

• The $95 million will be divided among all eligible claimants.
• It’s estimated that each claimant will receive approximately $20 (around 5,500 Pakistani rupees).
• If you have multiple devices—up to five—you can claim for each one. This could add up to around $105 (approximately 30,000 Pakistani rupees).

How to Claim Your Money

The process for claiming your share is straightforward:

1. The deadline to file your claim is February 14th, 2025.
2. Detailed instructions on how to claim your compensation will be provided closer to the deadline.

What Happens Next?

While the amount each person receives may not be substantial, this case sets a significant precedent for holding tech companies accountable for privacy violations. It’s a reminder that no company, no matter how big, is above the law.

If you’ve used an Apple device with Siri between 2014 and 2025, keep an eye out for updates on how to file your claim. This is your chance to be compensated for a serious breach of trust.
