Understanding the Lopez Voice Assistant settlement and its validity

If you live in USA territory you might get a few bucks, you will be contacted.

Claim form for apple Siri settlement - Apple Community

Yes it is real, here is the page to submit a claim -

Yes, it’s real. There are limitations, so review the website and terms and conditions. The maximum payment is $20 per device and a limit of 5 devices, so potentially $100 USD. The payment is reduced by number of applicants.

Let’s do some math. The total amount allocated is $95 million USD. If 1,000,000 people apply and qualify, it’s $95 per person and depending on devices will be less than maximum possible settlement amount. If 100,000,000 apply, it’s less than $1 USD per device.

The bottom line, read the requirements and limitations and decide if potentially $.95 USD is worth the time and effort. Settlement could be more or could be less.

Note that to make a claim, you have to file a claim form on time … and

"The Claim Form requires that you confirm or update your current contact information and confirm the following under oath: from September 17, 2014 to December 31, 2024 (i) you purchased or owned Siri Device in the United States or its territories and enabled Siri on that device, (ii) you experienced an unintended Siri activation, and (iii) the unintended Siri activation you experienced occurred during a conversation intended to be confidential or private."

That is, you don't get money merely for owning a Siri-capable device, or for having it listening all of the time, waiting for you to say "Hey, Siri". Or even for it trying to interpret non-confidential conversation as a command.

You have to confirm under oath, with penalties for perjury, that there was an unintentional activation which resulted in Siri trying to interpret a confidential and private conversation as a command.

I got an email today about this. What do I do? It’s from Lopez Voice Assistant

I got an email today about this. What do I do?

You start by reading the answers that have already been given. There is no need to explain this again.

It’s definitely more than a few dollars if you’ve been using Apple devices for the entire time frame. I always get the amount they say too because hardly anybody fills these forms out. People don’t realize the potential but since I started filling out every single one I get I’ve gotten over $300 just in one year.

It isn't possible to get $300 from this settlement unless you are one of the lawyers who filed the lawsuit, or one of the administrators who handle the paperwork for the claims. (A lot more than $300 will be set aside for them.)

I’m just about done with the information and my phone jumped on something else

Ok, what do you want us to do about it? That site has nothing to do with Apple, if you need assistance with it you will need to contact the owner of the site and ask them.

I told them they are the ones violating my rights to privacy. They sent me an email yet I never consented to sharing an email address with them , I never consented to them knowing my name and surname and I never consented to them knowing I use Apple phone. So the fact that they got all that information without my consent they are violating my rights to privacy!

The Judge on the case would have ordered potential victims info be provided so they could be notified. No violation of privacy.

That’s just an assumption, there is no evidence that was any judges order

Wrong. A copy of the Preliminary Approval Order with the judge's signature on it is available on the settlement site. Both that approval order, and the settlement agreement, call for Apple to provide contact information to the settlement administrators.

Don’t believe everything you see, this is how people get scammed these days. Just for a $20 a lessor amount than the money you actually bought your iPhone , iPad or MacBook with. Stay woke
