Apple wants Europe to blink

Apple is withholding its new AI-powered Siri from iPhone and iPad users in the European Union, citing the bloc's Digital Markets Act as the reason. The company claims the law, designed to promote competition among tech firms, would require it to give rivals access to its data, which it is unwilling to do. By blaming the EU, Apple aims to shift the responsibility for the delayed launch onto the regulatory body. Millions of European iPhone users may now be denied access to the updated Siri AI as a result.
