Apple AI and other iOS 18 features won’t launch in the EU over regulatory fears

During the WWDC 2024 keynote, Apple introduced several new features for iPhone users coming later this year, including Apple Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring with iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia, and SharePlay Screen Sharing. Now, in a statement seen by Bloomberg, Apple announced it won't bring these features to the region due to DMA concerns. "We are concerned that the interoperability requirements of the DMA could force us to compromise the integrity of our products in ways that risk user privacy and data security,” Apple said in a statement. Apple started complying with the Digital Markets Act with iOS 17.4. This software update required the company to agree with several new legislations, including opening the iPhone to third-party app stores and payment systems, offering browser options during smartphone setup, and more. With that, the company now says it will need longer to introduce Apple Intelligence features, iPhone Mirroring, and SharePlay Screen Sharing to European users as DMA could force Cupertino to open up these technologies for third-party developers – something like Android Mirroring or other third-party AI models interacting with iPhone's data before Apple firms a partnership.
