"Apple isn’t acknowledging any wrongdoing in the settlement, ... " - Why would Apple settle? Just to make this go away?
I cannot believe that "recording conversations and selling the data to advertisers" is something that actually happened. Does anyone? That feels like such a gross departure from their privacy commitments ...
Apple is a very aggressive and ruthless company... Just look at their lobby activities, how they go against the right to repair and how they generally try to ruthlessly lock you into their ecosystem... So this seems to be pretty much on character for me

Btw, I own the Brooklyn bridge, would you like to see it? It's for sale!
Of course it happened! How do you think Siri looks stuff up on the web? There has to be some sort of identifier that gets sent off, otherwise how else would that work? If that indentifier is sent to, say, a search engine, and that search engine is paying for that traffic, Apple is now taking ad money for Siri searches.
