Lopez Voice Assistant Settlement
Back in 2019, a class action lawsuit was filed against Apple Inc., alleging that Siri frequently activated without a user’s intent. These false activations caused Siri to record private or confidential conversations and transmit that audio to Apple’s servers.
After years of legal proceedings, the defendant agreed to a $95 million settlement without accepting any wrongdoing. It received the preliminary approval in February 2025, and then the portal was launched to submit claims, opt out, or object to the settlement.
The due date for all these options was July 2, 2025. Individuals who received a notice from the settlement administrator and believed to be eligible for the payout from the settlement have already submitted the claim form, and the final hearing took place on August 22, 2025.
Who is eligible for payout?
To get a payout from the Lopez voice assistant settlement, it is mandatory that you meet the eligibility requirements:
- You must be a citizen of the US and live in any territory of the country.
- You have purchased an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook, iMac, HomePod, iPod touch, or Apple TV between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024, and
- You must have enabled Siri on the device(s) and experienced at least one unintended Siri activation.

When to expect the payout?
As per a Reddit post, after the hearing for the Lopez voice assistant settlement, the final approval was received on September 4, 2025. Note that the payout will be received soon by all claimants; if there will be any appeal, the payout won’t take place until it is resolved.
There is no information in the public domain about whether there is an appeal after the final approval or not. If there is no appeal, we can expect the payout within 90 days after final approval, most probably in mid-December 2025.
Note that sometimes it takes up to a year to resolve all appeals. If the final approval is received with appeals, we may have to wait for months or a year to get the payout. To stay updated, make sure to keep an eye on the settlement portal.
