Apple pays $20-$100 per user for right to eavesdrop

 https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2025/01/03/apple-siri-eavesdropping-payout-heres-whos-eligible-and-how-to-claim/

How many people would exchange the right to privacy for one $20-$100 payout?

A small price for Apple to continue eavesdropping on users.

According to the article, Apple denies allegations since first allegations in 2019 - a topic of conversation I've shared with many since purchasing my first iPhone in 2014 (I was a late adopter).

The article mentions that users can opt-out with privacy settings, and how Apple Intelligence will only further amp up Siri.

I would speculate that soon enough, Apple will predict our thoughts before we are conscious of them.
