> Siri AI is not even available in all languages yet either.

Siri AI is increasingly looking like a product that's exclusively for Americans. An unfortunate side effect of the EU attempting to become a regulatory superpower but failing to export its rules to the rest of the world.

Don't worry Europeans: you aren't missing out.

Nah, Apple are just holding out on features from the EU so that they try to force their hand in other regulation. It's just blackmail.

		I’d say they really like this situation: - They don’t have to support European languages. Historically, they were horrible in this area, supporting only major languages and ignoring others for years. It’s almost impossible to ask Siri to play a song whose title is in one of these languages. Contact names are pronounced badly, and it’s sometimes tricky to ask Siri to call a person with a non-English name. This way, even though LLMs support these languages quite well, Apple doesn’t have to invest in development and testing. - They announce the product with US features and keep the EU price the same, but disable features that cost them money, such as those requiring server-side compute. - Satellite features only work in some EU countries, and there seems to be absolutely no progress in many markets. These markets are simply too small for Apple to care about. Yet the price is the same. - They blame the EU for this.

		Are they? If I were a gambling man, I'd bet that Siri AI never comes to the EU. I think Apple saw what happened with Google's on-device AI in the EU and noped out.
