In a June newsroom post, Apple confirmed Siri AI will not launch in the EU at iOS 27/iPadOS 27 release, citing Digital Markets Act interoperability requirements it says conflict with the feature's privacy architecture. It echoes Apple's 2024–25 pattern of gating Apple Intelligence in the EU and sets up another regulatory standoff. The delay leaves EU users without the flagship Gemini-powered assistant at launch.
