Content Philosophy
Content which benefits the community (news, rumors, and discussions) is valued over content which benefits only the individual (technical questions, help buying/selling, rants, etc.). This fundamental difference in audience is why we support two communities, r/Apple and r/AppleHelp. If you'd like to view their content together, click here.

Apple Intelligence is currently not available in EU countries because of privacy and security concerns. EU governments should urge Apple to allow other AI providers to fill the gap
Apple Intelligence introduced with iOS 18 developers betas, will not be available to EU customers in 2024. This is due to concerns related to the EU’s stringent privacy laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
These regulations emphasize user data protection, consent, and data minimization, which conflict with the data processing methods Apple’s AI requires.
To ensure compliance, Apple has chosen not to introduce these features in the EU at this time.
This leaves a significant gap that EU governments could address by allowing other AI providers to offer alternatives that meet privacy regulations.
