Apple (Apple) released a new generation of iOS 27 in mid-September. One of the eye-catching new features is Siri AI. However, according to the latest analysis by the well-known Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, quoted by the technology foreign media "MacRumors", due to regulatory restrictions in the European Union (EU), iPhone and iPad users in the region may have to wait for several months to use the newly upgraded Siri AI feature.

In his weekly "Power On" newsletter, Gurman pointed out that even using the "absolute best-case scenario" estimate, the delay of this feature in the EU will be at least about five months. Since Apple is still negotiating with EU regulators to comply with local digital regulations, European users may actually face a longer waiting period.

Gurman further analyzed that Apple chose to postpone the launch of this upgrade in the region, to some extent, in the hope of putting pressure on the European Commission (European Commission), hoping that frustrated consumers who could not use the new features would express their dissatisfaction to the regulatory authorities, thereby prompting the authorities to adjust their regulatory policies and attitudes. This strategy is the same as the previous delay in the launch of "Apple Intelligence" in the EU.

Currently, although EU users can already use this Siri AI feature on Mac computers, it is still limited and cannot be enabled on iPhone and iPad devices. In the short term, EU Apple fans may not be able to experience a complete new AI experience on mobile devices.
