The company stated that the European Commission rejected its proposed safety solution, Trusted System Agent, which would have allowed virtual assistants to operate without exposing users to risks such as data theft and unauthorized account changes. Apple warned that without regulatory compromise, Siri AI may never be released in the EU, marking an escalation in its public criticism of the Commission's demands.", "body_md": "Apple Newsroom, in an Apple Newsroom post Monday:\n\nAccording to EU regulators, the DMA requires Apple to give any AI system nearly unlimited access to a user’s device, as well as the ability to act on that access autonomously without a user’s ongoing visibility and control. That includes the ability to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and execute actions across any app. Security researchers have already shown that AI systems can be hijacked to steal personal data — like passwords and photos — and to permanently alter files and account settings without a user’s consent. As AI systems gain more capabilities, these risks are quickly increasing in frequency and scope.\n\nGiven the serious risks to users, Apple designed a solution called Trusted System Agent — an intermediary that would allow virtual assistants to safely access the same features and capabilities as Siri AI for devices in the EU. Apple also shared a plan to launch Siri AI in the EU while gradually rolling out this new solution over an 18-month period. The European Commission said no. In fact, the European Commission did not agree to any of Apple’s proposals.\n\nApple will continue working to bring these features to the European Union as safely as possible. However, given the clear dangers to EU users and the regulators’ failure to acknowledge these risks, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability in the EU on iOS and iPadOS.\n\nThere’s a lot to unpack here, including more background information — and on-the-record statements — from a briefing Apple held Tuesday that I was invited to at Apple Park. But the bottom line is that Apple’s public statements regarding the DMA and the European Commission have never been this strident before. In its public statements, Apple has always been *diplomatic*. That’s the word.\n\nNow, they’re a bit more on war footing. There’s a massive gulf between what Apple is willing to do with Siri AI in the EU and what the Commission is demanding from Apple for DMA compliance. As things stand there’s no middle ground. Apple’s offers for compromise have been rejected. Unless one side changes its mind and concedes its current position, Siri AI will *never* come to the EU, and what Apple is saying here is that they’re unwilling to create the open-access-to-user-data system that the EC is demanding.\n\nAnd from what I’ve seen so far in a day of testing Siri AI, EU iOS users are going to miss out on something really good.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-due-to-dma-siri-ai-delayed-in-eu-for-ios-27-and-ipados-27", "canonical_source": "https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/06/due-to-dma-siri-ai-delayed-in-eu-for-ios-27-and-ipados-27/", "published_at": "2026-06-11 21:58:49+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-11 22:48:00.550870+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-policy", "ai-safety", "artificial-intelligence", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Apple", "European Commission", "Siri AI", "Trusted System Agent", "DMA"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-due-to-dma-siri-ai-delayed-in-eu-for-ios-27-and-ipados-27", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-due-to-dma-siri-ai-delayed-in-eu-for-ios-27-and-ipados-27.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-due-to-dma-siri-ai-delayed-in-eu-for-ios-27-and-ipados-27.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-due-to-dma-siri-ai-delayed-in-eu-for-ios-27-and-ipados-27.jsonld"}}
