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

The $95m is about nine hours of profit for Apple, whose net income was $93.74bn in its latest fiscal year.

That, of course, will cover the violation of privacy and all the private discussions sent to third party advertisers. Also the amount is negligible against their annual profits.

Remember, a settlement does not involve an admission of wrongdoing nor a judicial finding of liability. Therefore no action (most probably) will be done on Apple's side.

I shudder to imagine all of the companies that license their consumer data databases, as well as the "insights" that consultant-types extract from them (and who their clients are),
