They settled for the other part of the lawsuit that was true: Siri recordings that it did not understand were being sent to a human QA team for review. There was originally no way for the customer to opt out of this.

not according to the article:

The customers who filed the lawsuit claimed that they were "regularly recorded without consent" and that they would not have purchased their iPhones had they known about this ‌Siri‌ feature. A judge initially threw out the lawsuit because the plaintiffs did not provide evidence of Apple recording their conversations, so it was refiled with the accusation that ‌Siri‌ data collected had been used for targeted advertising.
