Siri AI delayed in the EU under the DMA — plan for regulatory fragmentation

Apple confirmed that Siri AI's new personal-context and assistant features will not ship in the EU at launch for iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, citing Digital Markets Act compliance — with no timeline for when they will. (EU users still get Siri AI on macOS 27 and visionOS 27.)

For engineers building App Intents integrations or features that hook into Siri AI capabilities, this is a concrete reminder that AI feature availability is now region-gated by regulation. Design for graceful degradation and test the EU configuration as a first-class path, not an afterthought — "available everywhere" is no longer a safe default for AI features.
