Apple to pay $95m to settle Siri 'listening' lawsuit

The tech giant denies wrongdoing after being accused of eavesdropping on customers.

But the claimants say the tech firm recorded people who activated the virtual assistant unintentionally - without using the phrase "Hey, Siri" to wake it. Class action lawsuits work by a small number of people going to court on behalf of a larger group. By settling, Apple not only denies wrongdoing, but it also avoids the risk of facing a court case which could potentially mean a much larger pay out.
