Disappointment for Apple users in Europe: The new voice assistant will not be launched on the continent
Apple recently announced the launch of the upgraded version of its voice assistant, "Siri." The new version is based on advanced artificial intelligence technology, similar in its capabilities to popular models like ChatGPT. However, the company has updated that hundreds of millions of users around the world will not be able to enjoy the new service in the near future.
The reason for the decision is a complex legal and regulatory conflict with the European Union. According to reports, the new technology laws in Europe impose strict restrictions on digital giants. Apple fears that implementing the new technology could compromise user privacy or violate the fair competition rules established by the Union.
As a result, approximately 450 million iPhone and other Apple device users residing in European Union countries will be left behind. As of now, the company has not provided an exact target date for when the service will be available in these regions, and it continues to negotiate with the authorities to resolve the dispute.
Meanwhile, users in Israel and the United States are expected to receive the update as planned, as these regulatory restrictions do not apply to them. For Apple, this is a significant challenge, as it attempts to balance the desire to offer innovative technology with the need to comply with local laws in each individual country.
