Apple Intelligence Features Not Coming to European Union at Launch Due to DMA

Damn, that's perfectly valid reason
For this Apple would have to be deemed a gatekeeper of screen mirroring no? Just like Messages is not part of their DMA issues
Europe (the continent) or European Union? There is a big difference.
Apple Intelligence meant that the product lineup and its features became ever more fragmented. The it just works is no longer relevant, as not only does it not work anymore. But pieces are missing 🤔😬😜
from a strictly marketing and PR perspective, whoever is making these decisions should be fired. this will just further antagonize the EU.
El oh el!! Way to go EU. You wanted this bureaucracy, well you've got it in spades.
This is only the start.
This is only the start.
The EU could easily justify doing so given there aren't really many other viable alternatives, and certainly none in wide use
I think it is the private APIs. probably around remote control, if the authentication/permission and actual remote control aren't coupled tightly enough than those APIs might dangerous in the wrong hands
This is what happens when you pass excessive regulations/overreaching laws.
So I will buy a smartphone, tablet and notebook from Huawei. They are as secure as Apple and they give me all i wanted.
Did Apple create and implement the Digital Markets Act? No.
Hm interesting. Apple is starting to punish its EU customers over DMA rulings so it can keep extracting the 30% app tax. Lets see what will crumble first, EU marketshare or EU legislators
Given that not all countries allow encryption to be used, one would suspect Apple Intelligence can't be used for all situations. Likely some features would generate problems with particular countries technology rules of use, and take time to work around their laws/rules to the point they need to be disabled for some countries.

Blog - Private Cloud Compute: A new frontier for AI privacy in the cloud - Apple Security Research
Secure and private AI processing in the cloud poses a formidable new challenge. To support advanced features of Apple Intelligence with larger foundation models, we created Private Cloud Compute (PCC), a groundbreaking cloud intelligence system designed specifically for private AI processing...
Apple has long championed on-device processing as the cornerstone for the security and privacy of user data. Data that exists only on user devices is by definition disaggregated and not subject to any centralized point of attack. When Apple is responsible for user data in the cloud, we protect it with state-of-the-art security in our services — and for the most sensitive data, we believe end-to-end encryption is our most powerful defense. For cloud services where end-to-end encryption is not appropriate, we strive to process user data ephemerally or under uncorrelated randomized identifiers that obscure the user’s identity.
Secure and private AI processing in the cloud poses a formidable new challenge. Powerful AI hardware in the data center can fulfill a user’s request with large, complex machine learning models — but it requires unencrypted access to the user's request and accompanying personal data. That precludes the use of end-to-end encryption, so cloud AI applications have to date employed traditional approaches to cloud security. Such approaches present a few key challenges:

They are appealing the fine and just like most of the other fines they had it will probably get reduced or tossed.
Maybe. Though Margrethe Vestager has built her entire career on being spiteful toward American tech companies so I'd argue it's just desserts.
That being said, I think your DMA analysis is wrong. I almost guarantee Vestager would find that Apple only allowing ChatGPT integration runs afoul of the DMA's equal-access provisions. And even if not, the DMA is both very complicated and incredibly vague, and the EC has proven to be quite arbitrary and capricious in its interpretation of the rules, so I don't blame Apple at all for taking extra time for legal review.
Wouldn’t Apple have to implement iPhone Mirroring across non-Apple devices as well? Ditto for SharePlay Screen Sharing?
Also, wouldn’t Apple have to allow any third party app to mirror whatever it wants, without using iPhone Mirroring? Ditto for SharePlay?
Also, wouldn’t Apple have to allow third party hardware, to mirror on the Mac using the iPhone Mirroring protocols? Ditto for SharePly?

No one is confused about what the title means.
Why do things like Handoff, Continuity Camera, etc. work in the EU then? These don't have all of those core APIs available either.
Just set your iPhone region to something else.
Fingers crossed for Hartley... I hope you can still get these features in the UK lol.
