EU users will miss out on Apple Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring, and SharePlay Screen Sharing features due to the Digital Markets Act. This legislation aims to rein in Big Tech and has led Apple to withhold these features in the EU to avoid potential regulatory issues.
The next developer beta of iOS 18 is scheduled for release on Monday, June 24. This information was confirmed by Apple itself in a statement discussing Apple Intelligence and its delayed release in the EU due to regulatory concerns.
Apple won't release Apple Intelligence in the EU this year due to regulatory uncertainties brought about by the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The company is concerned that the interoperability requirements of the DMA could force it to compromise the integrity of its products, risking user privacy and data security. Apple is committed to collaborating with the European Commission to find a solution that would enable it to deliver these features to EU customers without compromising their safety.
