Due to concerns regarding the Digital Markets Act (DMA), Apple’s latest AI-powered Apple Intelligence, features won’t be available in the European Union. Apple has concerns about possible compromises to user privacy and security due to this act, intended to promote competition and interoperability in the digital market.
According to Bloomberg, Apple expressed concerns about the DMA’s interoperability requirements potentially affecting the integrity of its products. Apple Intelligence features, including iPhone Mirroring and SharePlay Screen Sharing enhancements, will therefore be delayed in the EU.
This delay could be a major setback for Apple and its users since Apple Intelligence was heavily promoted at the recent Worldwide Developers Conference. In its keynote, Apple showcased these new technologies and how they could enhance the user experience on iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
Apple has stated that this delay won’t last forever. Financial Times reports that the company hopes to implement these features for EU users eventually. The DMA’s interoperability requirements aim to make it easier for different tech products and services to work together seamlessly. To meet these requirements, Apple Intelligence may need to be adjusted to work with other platforms besides Apple’s own.
