Apple Intelligence brings incredible new features across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
I pre ordered the iPhone 16 pro Max natural titanium, but I live in the Netherlands. So I’m wondering if we’re getting the new iOS features too like apple intelligence.
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 6s, iOS 15
The EU antitrust regulation, 'Digital Markets Act' (DMA), requires that the features of a platform are also accessible to third parties (e.g. via API), to prevent Big Tech from acting as gatekeepers.
To comply with the EU DMA, Apple should make Apple Intelligence features accessible to other developers.
While I believe the Digital Markets Act is beneficial, in this case it fails to acknowledge the different levels of trust that consumers have toward various Big Tech companies.
I personally would never want my personal data (accessible by Apple Intelligence) to be made available to Meta, Google, and other App developers.
That's it

Funny thing is, the actual answer keeps appearing here from various people (see email notifications), but somehow is always deleted. 🤔 Figures.
The funny thing is that no one knows the answer to the question and any that claim they do have just provided speculation, which violates the Terms of Use for this site . You can use the link on the bottom of every page to review the rules. This is a support site where users ask questions and other users attempt to provide a solution, usually with documentation provided by Apple. If you have a link where the EU or Apple has provided a statement, then by all means include it here. This site should not be confused with a Social Media site where people hidden behind a user name are free to make any claim they want. There is no interest in anyones personal opinion and the focus is strictly to help users with a technical question to resolve an issue.
You will find that not all questions will have an answer that can be provided without speculation and in those cases, you will see a link to send feedback to Apple directly. For now or until a statement has been released, all we can do is wait and see.

Does anyone know who/where is best to contact to get some campaigning/discussion going for the EU to allow for it? Any particular emails or social media pages to ask for it to be looked in to?
You can submit your feedback to Apple here:
Privacy concerns I don’t think should be imposed on us. As consumers we should have the choice whether or not we’re comfortable using it and there’s a toggle to switch it off if you don’t want it. We need to get some movement on this.
Then you need to vote for different people. I don't know if there are direct elections to representatives to the EU or not, though.
"Block is only for European Union Countries"
No, it’s not blocked. Apple is in discussions with EU regulators to find out what it will take to not violate the EU’s crazy laws.
Can we not just change the phone to US English? I plan on buying one in Mexico so does this mean I won’t be able to get it since the phone was purchased there instead of the US?

How can they pull something that hasn't been released yet?
Apple devices aren’t priced À la carte by the features that are included or whether you use them or not.

What happens if you get an iPhone with Apple AI from USA and use it in Europe?
The phone will continue to work just fine. You will just lose access to Apple Intelligence.

Samsung and Google managed to comply yet Apple has failed to do so…
And.....?
If you want a Samsung phone because it better meets your needs, that's what you should buy.
"Apple's sales are not gonna be good in the EU as a result if people are smart."
Predictions of Apple’s demise have been a cottage industry now for 50 years. I’ll add your prediction to the list.
As of right now all we know is that AI won’t come to Europe, if that feature is what you need you won’t find it in an Apple product in European region.
Apple Intelligence will not be available in the EU, for now. It looks like Netherlands is part of the EU. An European country not part of the EU (such as the UK) will have Apple Intelligence available to them, when it releases in October.
Very bad move to pull AI.
Never before have I seen so many still available, normally the Pro models sells out within minutes in Sweden, there are still units to grab if you need a new phone, people are hesitating this time due to several features being pulled from the EU market.

It will be available "soon" in the U.S. Beyond some information about localization, we really don't know when it will be available anywhere else.

I was wondering when will come in Ireland?
It won't, at least not for the foreseeable future. As has been said several times now, Apple Intelligence will not be coming to any of the EU countries unless and until such time as Apple and the EU can work something out. When or if that will happen, again, none of us can know.
So, Apple is not allowing Apple Intelligence in the EU because implementing it according to the EU's DMA regulations would supposedly put consumers at risk. Meanwhile, these DMA regulations are meant to protect consumers. Am I missing something here?
The iPhones without Apple Intelligence are as expensive as the once with.
When will Apple Intelligence be available in Europe?
