European Commission States Siri AI Launch Decision Is Apple's Following Exemption Request (macrumors.com)

• EU Commission: Apple sought a blanket exemption from DMA obligations, not a compliance solution.
• Apple failed to develop interoperability solutions meeting EU privacy and security standards.
• Siri AI and iOS 27 features will not be available in the EU; no timeline for future launch.

"The European Commission responded to Apple's announcement that Siri AI will not launch in the EU, stating the decision is Apple's alone. Apple failed to develop interoperability solutions meeting EU privacy and security standards, and instead requested a blanket exemption from Digital Markets Act obligations, which the Commission rejected."
