Apple underscored its ai push earlier this month with a series of new features and software improvements for its iPhone and other devices to boost sagging sales.

The company said on Friday that three features (Phone Mirroring, improvements to SharePlay Screen Sharing and Apple Intelligence) will not be rolled out to EU users this year due to regulatory uncertainties due to the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA).

“We are committed to working with the European Commission in an attempt to find a solution that allows us to offer these features to our EU customers without compromising their security.”
