They will have to study the impact of their new tools on the European market before being able to release them.
It’s been almost two weeks since Apple launched Apple Intelligence. The North American firm, after many months full of rumors, confirmed the existence of its own artificial intelligence and spoke about its benefits. Thus, thanks to it we will be able to see aspects such as Full Siri integration with ChatGPTan aspect that figures like Elon Musk have not finished liking it. However, as the company itself has revealed, it seems that some users will not be able to enjoy these new features.
How the portal collects Ars Technica in a recent publicationthree of the functions presented by Apple for iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia They will not be available in the European Union this year. Thus, it seems that those affected are the ability to mirror the iPhone screen on the Mac, the option to share screen through SharePlay and Apple Intelligence, the company’s AI. And, as stated in Apple’s official statement, the decision is related to the Digital Markets Act (DMA) of the European Union.
The battle between Apple and Europe continues
According to Apple, its concern is focused on the interoperability requirements of the DMA and, in turn, the hypothetical impact on the privacy and security of user data that their actions could have. In this way, they showed their interest in collaborate closely with the European Commission to find a solution. However, at the moment it is still unclear what specific aspects of the DMA led to this decision, but some point to competitors’ access to user data.
Thus, it is not the first time that we see divergences in the characteristics of Apple devices between the European Union and other regions. A great example of this situation would be the third party app stores, since these exist in Europe as a result of European Union regulations, but they are not in other locations due to their absence. Be that as it may, the affected functions yes they will be launched in other regions this fall, but it will not happen in European territory.
