Apple It has no plans to launch the new AI-powered Siri in the European Union anytime soon. The feature is one of the main new additions to iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, but even after the release of these operating systems in September, it remains unavailable to users in the EU.According to Bloomberg, the delay may be related to EU regulatory requirements. Mark Gurman reports that Apple may be hoping the absence of Siri AI will prompt users to voice their dissatisfaction with the EU’s approach to regulating technology companies.Apple’s past experience suggests that the launch of AI features in the EU could be delayed by several months.
Apple Intelligence debuted outside the European Union in October 2024, while it did not become available in EU countries until March 2025.Gourman believes that, in the best-case scenario, Siri AI could follow this timeline and launch in the EU approximately five months after its global launch. At the same time, the journalist does not rule out a significantly longer delay, and Apple has not yet announced a specific release date.As a reminder, OpenAI has added task scheduling the free version of ChatGPT.And in Kyiv, they opened a hub where, together, OpenAI will test AI for schools.
