Apple unveils Siri AI at WWDC 2026, EU denies rollout
Technology
Apple's new Siri AI was unveiled at WWDC 2026, but if you are in the European Union (EU), you will have to wait.
The company wanted an exemption from strict European rules, but the EU said no: Siri AI did not meet its privacy and security standards.
As a European Commission spokesperson said, "The decision not to roll out Siri AI in the EU is Apple's and Apple's only."
Siri features withheld pending EU compliance
Until Apple updates Siri AI to work with third-party services and to follow EU data laws, people in the EU will not get these new features on their iPhones, iPads, or Macs.
For now, it's a reminder that tech companies have to play by local rules if they want everyone on board.
