Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

When will Apple Intelligence be available in Europe?

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.

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

Sadly they're likely not a precursor to EU support.


French will be in there to accommodate the 167 million French-speaking Africans and 11.6m French-speaking Canadians among others. It's an official language in 27 countries!


Spanish is an official language in 20 countries and has about 500 million native speakers worldwide including 43 million in the US.


You might be able to get it working if you're a French or Spanish speaker and if setting your region to one of those other countries that have French or Spanish as an official language doesn't cause you other problems (localised spell check annoyances for example). I'd hope that with all the work they're doing to make it private, Apple Intelligence will come to the EU sooner rather than later.

I was planning on preordering or ordering one last week in the store here in Estonia but decided I would not waste my money if I didn't get all of the features available here in the EU. Why would I spend over €1500 or more on a new Apple product that touts this new tech if we don't get it at the same price? Especially when the EU is getting hit harder with the impacts of the Ukraine war than the US. I'll probably settle for an iPhone 15 Pro instead. Apple's sales are not gonna be good in the EU as a result if people are smart. As a consumer who generally upgrades my iPhone every 2 versions or so or when new tech comes out, this frustrates me.

Telling our government officials will most likely due absolutely nothing. Its not like they would make an exception in the DMA act just because of apple intelligence. Realistically at the speed and complexity of politics, change takes time and by the time such a change would even be close to take effect, apple has probably figured out a way to comply with the EU laws.

Will have to wait and see. Apple would not jeopardize their users privacy/security to comply with a law the requires them to allow other companies access where this information would be at risk. If Apple can make that happen, then you may see it sooner rather than later, but who knows what the EU will allow.
