- Apple decided not to launch Siri AI in the EU, with the European Commission stating this was solely Apple's choice.
- The Commission claims Apple failed to create interoperability solutions meeting EU privacy and security standards and instead sought an exemption from obligations.
- Apple blamed EU regulators for not engaging constructively, while the Commission asserts Apple requested a blanket exemption rather than negotiating compliance.
- Siri AI and its new features will be unavailable in the EU with the release of iOS 27 and other updates this year, though Apple hopes to eventually bring it to the region.
