Apple said its redesigned AI-powered Siri will not be available in the EU or mainland China for now due to regulatory requirements. Unveiled on Tuesday, the upgraded Siri can answer questions using information from users’ screens, messages, emails, and photos. An English-language beta will launch later this year after an initial developer preview. Apple has previously criticized parts of the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which requires support for alternative payment systems and third-party app stores. The European Commission said it would neither repeal nor amend the DMA in response to Apple’s objections, forcing the company to make adjustments to meet the requirements for users in the EU.
