- The first set of Apple Intelligence features is now available to EU-based Mac users running macOS Sequoia 15.1 or later.
- iPhone and iPad users residing in the European Union will have to wait until April to utilize Apple’s AI features.
- For now, getting Apple Intelligence to work requires users to set the device and Siri language to US English.
Apple Intelligence launched yesterday as part of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1. Notably, though, EU-based iPhone and iPad users were greeted by an error message stating that Apple Intelligence isn’t available in their region. While Macs in the European Union can now utilize these AI features, Apple’s mobile users will have to wait until next year.
The Cupertino firm has revealed that Apple Intelligence is coming to EU iPhones and iPads in April. AI perks like Writing Tools, Clean Up in the Photos app, and notification summaries are already available on EU Macs. However, given the DMA’s fixation on Apple’s mobile platforms, the company is delaying the iOS and iPadOS rollout to comply with the EU’s regulations.
