being on retainer isn’t a loophole for free lawyers. deploying those lawyers on a big class action lawsuit will absolutely cost them money one way or another.

and it’s not a matter of being “too expensive” for apple. It’s simply more expensive than settling. this isn’t rocket science.

any number of reasons, like avoiding discovery for any semi-related information they don’t want public.

Plaintiffs in the lawsuit claimed that they were shown ads for Air Jordan shoes and Olive Garden after ‌Siri‌ recorded them speaking privately about those companies.

so basically this is just confirmation bias or frequency illusion with no actual evidence whatsoever. What are the odds that someone who talks about Jordans or Olive Garden is shown a targeted ad from literally any other data from their online presence? or even a complete coincidence entirely? Of course that’s going to happen amongst the millions and millions of iPhone users on a day to day basis.
