- Apple delays launch of new AI features in Europe due to EU regulations.
- Features affected include Phone Mirroring, SharePlay enhancements, and Apple Intelligence.
- Apple cites concerns over privacy and data security compliance with the EU’s Digital Markets Act.
Apple’s rollout of new AI features for its devices has been delayed in Europe due to regulatory concerns. The tech giant announced that three features—Phone Mirroring on macOS Sequoia, SharePlay Screen Sharing Enhancements, and Apple Intelligence—won’t be available to EU users this year.
The delay is attributed to uncertainties around the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which aims to ensure fair competition and prevent tech monopolies. Apple is worried that the DMA’s interoperability requirements could compromise user privacy and data security.
Apple emphasized its commitment to resolving these issues. The company is working with the European Commission to find a solution that allows the introduction of these AI features in Europe without compromising user safety.
Despite the setback, Apple remains focused on delivering innovative features while adhering to regulatory standards. The tech giant reassures its European customers of its dedication to both innovation and security.
