Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
Apple will not ship Siri AI features in the European Union on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 due to the Digital Markets Act (DMA). EU regulators rejected Apple's proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the EU while supporting other virtual assistants. EU users can still access Siri AI on macOS 27 and visionOS 27, but EU developers cannot test the new Siri AI features on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, or watchOS 27.
