Apple has announced that it will delay the release of its Apple Intelligence due to regulatory uncertainties under the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA). Apple has announced it will be pausing the rollout of its Apple Intelligence across Europe as the company has to adhere to the European Union competition regulations. Moreover, Apple Intelligence is Apple's foray into artificial intelligence, as the new update to Apple's operating system will integrate a slew of AI-powered features, and completely overhaul Siri. Under the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) regulations, a company must ensure rival products and services can function with its device, or what is called interoperability. These requirements and overall DMA regulations promote a competitive market in the EU, as companies cannot act as "gatekeepers" that thwart competition.
