Apple Delays EU Launch of Key AI Features Until 2025

Apple's new AI functionalities, including ChatGPT integration and enhanced Siri, face regulatory hurdles in the EU, pushing the release to April 2025.

• Apple Intelligence, the company's suite of AI features, has begun rolling out in the US with the latest iOS, iPadOS, and macOS updates.
• The delay in the EU is due to Apple's concerns over the Digital Markets Act, which mandates greater interoperability and data access for competitors.
• Some AI functions, such as improved text tools and custom emoji creation, will be available on Macs in the EU, bypassing the 'Gatekeeper' restrictions.
• In the US, iPhone and iPad users can already access features like advanced text editing, ChatGPT integration, and a revamped Siri.
• Apple is working to align its AI offerings with EU regulations, ensuring user privacy and data protection are maintained.
