Apple's enhanced Siri artificial intelligence may still be months away from becoming available to European Union users, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman suggested that the most optimistic timeline for EU users would involve a five-month delay, while longer waits could potentially be expected as Apple negotiates compliance with the bloc's digital regulations.
Gurman believes Apple is intentionally withholding the upgrade to exert pressure on the European Commission, hoping that consumer frustration will push for modifications to its strategy. He likened this situation to the delayed rollout of Apple Intelligence in the EU. Importantly, Siri AI is not currently accessible in the EU on iPhone or iPad devices, but EU users do have access to it on Mac computers.
