I have as much content for Euro bureaucrats as the next person, but dont fall for this story as " The mean EU" blocking "poor little Apple" from releasing nice features to their users.

Last year we built TapToPay product for Klarna. We had a tiny, but great team and were able to build super fast, but it literally took Apple 11 years to open their Wallet API, which only happened after pressure from the European Commission. Competition is for losers www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Fx5...

Now with "Inteligence suite" it's exactly the same story Apple told during Epic v Apple, which they lost, and were later found in contempt of court on. The iPhone would be MUCH better if AI assistants could compete in a free market, rather than locking out competitors and paywalling what’s left.

The news you see every where today sounds like a mix of a psy-op to make the EU soften up to these corps, and the fact that they only manage to get these half-baked features ready way too close to release, so they don't even try to address things like being anti competitive.

Also, China is mentioned as a foot note: "we're just obeying local laws". Typical. PS: android has pretty much all those AI features working in the EU since 2024.
