Apple officials have offered a $95 million settlement to end a class action lawsuit over alleged invasion of privacy issues with Apple’s Siri virtual assistant. The settlement offer was filed Tuesday night in the U.S. District Court for Northern California in Oakland and addresses the legal action filed in 2019 by owners of Apple mobile devices, including its popular iPhone and Apple Watch. The plaintiffs say Apple’s Siri virtual assistant recorded their private conversations after unintentionally activating the app. The surreptitious recordings allegedly were disclosed to advertisers and other third parties for review. |
