This is the framing Apple wants to sell for their decision to withhold features from the EU, and blogs are parroting it.
In reality, Apple is purposefully withholding these features from the EU, either because Apple are being retaliatory against EU customers for the existence of the DMA, or because Apple (with full knowledge of the DMA for years) refused to build these features in compliance with it.
Apple chose to harm their products in the EU. The DMA didn't. This framing is marketing.
@stevestreza The correct wording is "Apple won't be releasing these features in the EU because they refuse to comply with local legislation".
But hey, propaganda outlets don't make money by publishing objective news.
@stevestreza @zilahu I think it’s more of the case what has been written here: https://spyglass.org/no-ai-for-you-eu/
It was originally announced that AI features would come in Beta this fall and only in US English. So this announcement is not withdrawing anything, just poking the EU.
iPhone mirroring: I can imagine if this feature would need to comply with DMA, it would also need to allow Android and Windows mirroring. Which is a lot more complex problem to solve, not hard to believe it needs more time.
@stevestreza Are these the same people not caring about Apple caving to China’s demand and restrictions?
