The EU’s competition chief and European Commission Vice-President Margrethe Vestager says that Apple’s decision to withhold its Apple Intelligence AI features from the EU is a “stunning declaration” of its anticompetitive behavior, in what might be the funniest twist in the story yet.
Vestager’s latest scathing attack follows Apple’s seismic decision not to roll out Apple Intelligence, coming to iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with iOS 18 and beyond, in the EU. In a statement, Apple said that “due to the regulatory uncertainties brought about by the Digital Markets Act (DMA), we do not believe that we will be able to roll out three of these features — iPhone Mirroring, SharePlay Screen Sharing enhancements, and Apple Intelligence — to our EU users this year.”
