Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports in his Power On newsletter that Apple's upgraded Siri AI could stay unavailable on iPhone and iPad in the EU for months. He calls a roughly five-month delay the absolute best case and believes Apple is withholding the upgrade to pressure the European Commission. Apple has not confirmed that timeline. EU users already have Siri AI on the Mac.

Apple's upgraded Siri AI could stay off iPhones and iPads in the European Union for several more months, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The timeline is Gurman's reported outlook, not an Apple announcement.

Gurman calls five months the best case. Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman said a delay of around five months would be the "absolute best-case scenario" for an EU launch. He said the wait could run longer while Apple works through compliance with the bloc's digital rules.
Gurman said a delay of around five months would be the "absolute best-case scenario" for an EU launch.

Gurman thinks Apple is using the delay as leverage. In his reading, Apple is holding back the upgrade to pressure the European Commission, betting that frustrated customers will push the regulator to change course. Apple has not publicly described its strategy that way.

He sees a parallel with Apple Intelligence. Gurman compared the Siri AI holdup with the earlier delayed EU rollout of Apple Intelligence features, another sign of ongoing friction between Apple and EU authorities.
EU users can already use Siri AI on the Mac.
Availability already differs by device. Siri AI is not available on iPhone or iPad in the EU, but EU users can already use it on the Mac.

There is no firm date. Beyond Gurman's best-case estimate, no specific timeline has surfaced. Any rollout depends on how Apple's discussions with EU regulators play out.
