Due to the regulatory uncertainties brought about by the Digital Markets Act, we do not believe that we will be able to roll out three of these [new] features – iPhone Mirroring, SharePlay Screen Sharing enhancements, and Apple Intelligence – to our EU users this year.

      DMA is focused on preventing “gatekeepers” from unfairly favoring their own services and promoting interoperability.

      1. If Apple Intelligence were to prioritize Apple services like Apple Music or Apple Maps in searches or recommendations, the DMA would apply.
      2. iPhone Mirroring is only native to Apple devices which violates DMA’s interoperability requirements.
      3. Similarly, Shareplay ScreenSharing will require an Apple device on both ends, meaning it also violates the DMA’s interoperability

      Lol. No.

      I think more and more companies are going to make the EU a tech backwater because nobody will want to innovate in such an unfriendly area where woke lawmakers will try and mess up your business model.

        Lmao, no, the companies will learn they can’t just do whatever they want anymore, or they will fail. It might take years. But it will happen. Take your woke nonsense back to reddit.

    Well I was planning to get a new iPhone that fully supports Apple Intelligence, but if Apple can’t swallow their pride by properly opening up their platform but would rather leave out headlining features, I guess I won’t.
