Apple Won't Launch New Siri Features in Europe Due to Regulatory Rules

Apple is holding back new AI-powered Siri features in the European Union when it releases iOS 27, citing compliance with European digital regulations. The decision affects 450 million EU residents. This is the second time Apple has delayed a flagship AI feature there. It reflects tension between Apple's closed system design and EU rules requiring more openness—though whether this reflects genuine technical limits or negotiating strategy remains unclear.
