Apple just unveiled the most ambitious version of Siri in the assistant\u2019s 15-year history \u2014 and yet, for users across the European Union, it\u2019s already blocked. At WWDC 2026 on June 8, Apple confirmed it won\u2019t ship Siri AI in the EU with the release of iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. As a result, there\u2019s no Siri AI Europe release date on the calendar. Here\u2019s what\u2019s happening, why it matters, and whether this impasse has any path forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Makes Siri AI Such a Big Deal<\/h2>\n

Before getting into the regulation battle, it helps to understand what\u2019s actually at stake.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new Siri AI is the most significant overhaul of the assistant in its history \u2014 finally competing head-to-head with ChatGPT and Google Gemini after years of delays. As we covered in our<\/span> full WWDC 2026 breakdown<\/span>, the rebuilt Siri now runs on Google Gemini models under the hood, ships with a dedicated standalone app, and can interact with your messages, calendar, files, and apps in real time.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, here\u2019s a side-by-side look at what iOS 27 users get globally versus what EU users lose:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
iOS 27 Core Feature<\/td>\nGlobal (US, Asia\u2026)<\/td>\nEU<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Standalone Siri App<\/span><\/td>\n\u2705 Available<\/span><\/td>\n\u274c Blocked<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Visual Intelligence experience<\/span><\/td>\n\u2705 Available<\/span><\/td>\n\u274c Blocked<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
System-wide Writing Tools<\/span><\/td>\n\u2705 Available<\/span><\/td>\n\u274c Blocked<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Siri Mode in Camera<\/span><\/td>\n\u2705 Available<\/span><\/td>\n\u274c Blocked<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third-party AI apps (ChatGPT \/ Gemini)<\/span><\/td>\n\u2705 Available<\/span><\/td>\n\u2705 Available (via standard App Store only)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

That\u2019s not a minor tweak. It\u2019s the whole product \u2014 blocked for 450 million people.<\/span><\/p>\n

The DMA: What It Is and Why It\u2019s Causing Problems<\/h2>\n

The <\/span>Digital Markets Act (DMA) is EU legislation that came into force in 2022 with one main goal: to stop big tech companies from using their platforms to shut out rivals. Specifically, Apple, Google, Meta, and others are classified as \u201cgatekeepers\u201c<\/strong> under the law. That means if Apple builds a feature for Siri, it must offer competitors the same access to iOS\u2019s system tools \u2014 that\u2019s what the law calls \u201cinteroperability.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
