In January 2016, ''[[Fast Company (magazine)|Fast Company]]'' reported that, in then-recent months, Siri had begun to confuse the word "abortion" with "[[adoption]]", citing "health experts" who stated that the situation had "gotten worse." However, at the time of ''Fast Company''{{'}}s report, the situation had changed slightly, with Siri offering "a more comprehensive list of [[Planned Parenthood]] facilities", although "Adoption clinics continue to pop up, but near the bottom of the list."<ref>{{cite web |first=Christina |last=Farr |title=Apple Maps Stops Sending People Searching For "Abortion" To Adoption Centers |url=https://www.fastcompany.com/3055887/apple-maps-stops-sending-people-searching-for-abortion-to-adoption-centers |website=[[Fast Company (magazine)|Fast Company]] |publisher=Mansueto Ventures |date=January 28, 2016 |access-date=2017-06-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Mikey |last=Campbell |title=Apple correcting Siri "abortion" search issue uncovered in 2011 |url=http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/01/29/apple-correcting-siri-abortion-search-issue-uncovered-in-2011 |website=AppleInsider |date=January 29, 2016 |access-date=2017-06-10}}</ref>

In March 2012, Frank M. Fazio filed a class action lawsuit against Apple on behalf of the people who bought the iPhone 4S and felt misled about the capabilities of Siri, alleging its failure to function as depicted in Apple's Siri commercials. Fazio filed the lawsuit in California and claimed that the iPhone 4S was merely a "more expensive iPhone 4" if Siri fails to function as advertised.<ref>{{cite web |first=Meghan |last=Kelly |title=Siri ads "false and misleading," according to class action lawsuit |url=https://venturebeat.com/2012/03/13/siri-apple-law-suit/ |website=[[VentureBeat]] |date=March 13, 2012 |access-date=June 10, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Joe |last=Palazzolo |title=So Sirious: iPhone User Sues Apple over Voice-Activated Assistant |url=https://blogs.wsj.com/law/2012/03/12/so-sirious-iphone-user-sues-apple-over-voice-activated-assistant/ |website=[[The Wall Street Journal]] |publisher=[[Dow Jones & Company]] |date=March 12, 2012 |access-date=June 10, 2017}} {{subscription required}}</ref> On July 22, 2013, U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken in San Francisco dismissed the suit but said the plaintiffs could amend at a later time.
