Here’s an alternate version of the text:

Occasionally, an exceptional chance arises to receive compensation from a significant tech corporation—and this is one of those instances.

If you have a Siri-capable Apple device and encountered an “unintended Siri activation during a confidential or private communication” between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024, you might qualify for as much as $100 from Apple. This is part of a class-action agreement, and you can access all the specifics—including instructions on how to submit a claim—on the official settlement site. The cutoff date for submitting your claim is July 2.

You can submit claims for up to five devices, with a cap of $20 per device. This means, theoretically, you could collect as much as $100. However, filing a claim does not ensure that you will receive a payment.

This settlement arises from a lawsuit initially filed in 2019, which was resolved in January 2024. Apple consented to pay $95 million to address allegations that Siri—and external contractors—may have listened to users’ private discussions without their permission.

Apple has asserted that any recordings provided to contractors were strictly for quality assurance and not for promotional purposes. In an official statement, the company highlighted: “Apple has never utilized Siri data to create marketing profiles, has never made it accessible for advertising, and has never sold it to anyone for any reason.”

Nonetheless, for some Apple users, this settlement provides a modest but appreciated refund.
