- What it measures
- The Apple figure is the amount agreed in a 2025 proposed class action over Siri. The Google figure is the amount agreed in a 2026 class action over Google Assistant. The two cases differ in scope and timing, so the gap is an arithmetic difference, not a comparison of wrongdoing.
- How it is calculated
- 95 - 68 = 27
Calculated from
- Reuters reported in January 2025 that Apple agreed to pay $95 million in cash to settle a proposed class action claiming Siri violated users' privacy.
- In January 2026, Google agreed to pay $68 million to settle a class action that accused it of illegally recording private conversations through Google Assistant. Google denied wrongdoing.
