    Those in the many European countries who want to use Apple's new
    gimmicky "AI" features will be out of luck, at last for a while, thanks
    to the interference of the brainless red tape pushers who have nothing
    actually useful to do.


    Apple Intelligence won't launch in EU in 2024
    due to antitrust regulation, company says
    ---------------------------------------------
    Apple said Friday it won't release three recently announced
    features, including its flagship "Apple Intelligence" AI
    product, in the European Union in 2024 due to "regulatory
    uncertainties" stemming from the bloc's Digital Markets Act
    antitrust regulation.

    Apple said in a statement that the features - Apple
    Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring, and enhancements to its
    SharePlay screen-sharing product - won't be available to EU
    customers due to Apple's belief "that the interoperability
    requirements of the DMA could force us to compromise the
    integrity of our products in ways that risk user privacy and
    data security."

    The EU passed the DMA in 2023, spurred by concerns that a
    handful of major technology companies such as Amazon, Apple,
    Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok parent ByteDance were
    acting as "gatekeepers" in preventing smaller firms from
    competing. Among other things, DMA requires that basic
    functionalities work across competing devices and ecosystems.

    The interoperability requirements apply to iPhones and iPads.
    But Macs are affected by the DMA because iPhone Mirroring
    allows users to replicate the screen of an iPhone on the
    screen of a Mac.

    The loss of the company's AI product could be a disappointment
    to consumers. Apple Intelligence can proofread writing or even
    rewrite it in a friendly or professional tone. It can create
    custom emoji called Genmoji, search through an iPhone for
    specific messages from someone, summarize and transcribe phone
    calls and show priority notifications. The company also
    announced a partnership with OpenAI and a roadmap to other
    models being added to the platform.

    Apple shares were largely flat on the news. Apple saw 2023 net
    sales of $94.3 billion in Europe, just under a quarter of its
    worldwide net sales. Apple Intelligence also won't be available
    in Greater China, which accounted for $72.6 billion of its 2023
    sales.

    The company said it will work with the European Union "in an
    attempt to find a solution that would enable us to deliver
    these features to our EU customers without compromising their
    safety."
