EU DMA Enforcement Blocks Apple Intelligence Rollout

Apple has decided against rolling out its updated Siri AI features in the EU after the European Commission denied its request for a Digital Markets Act exemption. The Reuters report states that Apple failed to demonstrate compliance with DMA interoperability and data access rules for its Apple Intelligence tools. Commission documents reference similar gatekeeper obligations applied to designated firms since 2023. DMA enforcement records show prior cases involving Meta and Google requiring structural changes before feature launches. Apple's 2025 regulatory filings indicate US market deployment preceded any EU timeline by over 12 months. EU AI Act implementation reports document comparable lags across multiple US-origin models.
