Mobile device owners complained that Apple routinely recorded their private conversations after they activated Siri unintentionally, and disclosed these conversations to third parties such as advertisers.

行動裝置持有人指控，蘋果經常在他們無意間啟動Siri後，記錄他們的私人對話，並將這些對話透露給第三方，比如廣告商。

Two plaintiffs said their mentions of Air Jordan sneakers and Olive Garden restaurants triggered ads for those products. Another said he got ads for a brand name surgical treatment after discussing it with his doctor.

2名原告說，他們提到Air Jordan運動鞋與橄欖園餐廳的談話，觸發這些產品的廣告。另1人說，他與醫生討論某品牌的手術療法後，就收到該療法廣告。

Class members, estimated in the tens of millions, may receive up to $20 per Siri-enabled device, such as iPhones and Apple Watches.

集體訴訟人數估計有數千萬人，每台支援Siri的裝置，比如iPhone與蘋果手錶，或許最高可獲得20美元的賠償。
