No. They will reach a dollar figure, and divide that amongst the claimants (and law firm). More claimants does not mean a higher settlement.

What you say is true to that extent... That's nothing to do with my point...

Anyone not making a claim is unnecessarily leaving money on the table that will eventually (possibly) be rewarded back to the offender.

I'm saying just take them for everything you can, regardless of "hoops", even if it doesn't seen like that much. In the aggregate, we're causing more financial pain rather than less.

What'd you miss in what I said?? (he asks rhetorically...)

Fewer claims, less payout.

That's what I was responding to. The company is paying out the same regardless of however many people file a claim. If you meant something else, that was unclear.

Relevant bit for the lazy:

People who owned or purchased a Siri-enabled device — specifically: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook, iMac, HomePod, iPod touch or Apple TV — that experienced unintended Siri activation during a confidential and private conversation between Sept. 17, 2014, and Dec. 31, 2024, may be eligible.

US-only users may file a claim

Between 2014-2024, Apple posted $1,316B (rounded) in profits. The $95M settlement is 0.0072% of their total profits for the years in question (0.053% profits of 2024 alone). This is barely a slap. It's not even purchase tax. It's a rounding error.

I've been quite clear.

You're being willfully obtuse.

Bye.

"Oh, shit. I need to file to my check worth $1.27! That'll teach them!"

Edit: I'm far from defending Apple, but they're a Trillion Dollar Company.

This lawsuit is less than a rounding error to them.

All Hail Capitalism!

I had trouble with it too. The site told me to disable all the privacy settings on my browser, at which point I simply decided that the whole thing was no longer worth my time and data.

In typical class action fashion, it’s the lawyers who the company owes money to. Those of us actually impacted have to sing and dance for the table scraps.
