Give EU Users the Choice: Enable Full iOS 27 Features Without Restrictions
Give EU Users the Choice: Enable Full iOS 27 Features Without Restrictions
El problema
The Problem
Apple has announced that the groundbreaking new Siri AI features and associated iOS 27 innovations will not be available to iPhone and iPad users in the European Union. While users in the rest of the world gain access to this powerful new technology, European consumers are being left behind.
Apple cites compliance challenges with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), specifically regarding interoperability requirements, as the reason for this delay. However, this regulatory deadlock has resulted in a "feature gap" that directly impacts the daily experience of millions of EU citizens, forcing us to use outdated technology despite owning the latest hardware.
The Solution
We, the undersigned, believe that digital sovereignty includes the right to choose. We are calling on the European Commission and Apple to find an immediate, pragmatic solution that allows for the release of these features.
Our demands are simple:
1 Grant User Choice: We want the option to enable or disable these advanced features ourselves. If there are concerns about data privacy or interoperability, let the user decide if they want to opt-in to the full, unrestricted experience.
2 End the Regulatory Standoff: We urge both the European Commission and Apple to prioritize the consumer experience. The DMA was designed to provide more choice and fairness, not to deny EU users access to the world’s most advanced software.
3 Restore Feature Parity: European users should not be treated as "second-class" consumers. We deserve the same technological capabilities, privacy protections, and innovation as users in other parts of the world.
Why This Matters
Innovation shouldn't come at the cost of accessibility. By blocking these features, the current regulatory environment is effectively limiting the utility of our devices and widening the gap between the EU and the global digital market. We believe that privacy, security, and cutting-edge innovation can coexist, and we ask regulators to work with Apple to unlock the full potential of iOS 27 for everyone in Europe.
