Apple said its new Siri AI won’t arrive in the EU with iOS 27.
At WWDC the company unveiled a rebuilt assistant, but on Monday announced that EU regulators have rejected every proposal Apple submitted over the past months. As a result the feature will not be on iPhone or iPad in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 ship later this year. Apple offered no new release window.
The delay highlights how the Digital Markets Act is forcing big tech to redesign services for compliance, not just add features. European users will continue with the legacy Siri while developers scramble to meet divergent standards across regions.
In practice, Apple’s timeline‑driven roadmap now runs into a regulatory roadblock that could slow future AI rollouts beyond the assistant.
