John Gruber, der neben der omin\u00f6sen Pressemeldung auch noch ein Briefing von Apple zum Ausbleiben von Siri AI in der EU bekommen hat1:
\n\nThere\u2019s a massive gulf between what Apple is willing to do with Siri AI in the EU and what the Commission is demanding from Apple for DMA compliance. As things stand there\u2019s no middle ground. Apple\u2019s offers for compromise have been rejected. Unless one side changes its mind and concedes its current position, Siri AI will never come to the EU, and what Apple is saying here is that they\u2019re unwilling to create the open-access-to-user-data system that the EC is demanding.
Michael Tsai wiederum sch\u00e4tzt insbesondere Apples der EU vorgeschlagenen Plan zur Entwicklung in den n\u00e4chsten 18 Monaten wie folgt ein:
\n\nApple is trying to give the impression that it did all this extra work to meet the DMA\u2019s requirements, and yet the EC rejected its proposals, so it\u2019s their fault Siri AI isn\u2019t shipping in the EU. But it looks like the crux is that the Trusted System Agent is currently vaporware. What the EC rejected is that Apple wanted to be able to ship Siri AI now on the promise of future openness. The TSA would actually be built during this 18-month window of exclusivity. It\u2019s not surprising that the EU would reject that proposal. The App Store doesn\u2019t approve apps that flout the guidelines but promise to comply later. It doesn\u2019t even entertain proposals of the form, \u201cIf I built this would it be approved?\u201d
„Vaporware“ klingt deutlich anders. Und mehr nach dem, was EU-Kommissionssprecher Thomas Regnier auf LinkedIn (what?) preisgibt:
\n\n[Instead] of offering a compliant solution, Apple asked to be exempted from its interoperability obligations under the DMA\u2009\u2014\u2009and this for 18 months.
\nThat\u2019s not an option. EU rules are non negotiable.
Ich sch\u00e4tze, der Markt wird\u2018s richten. Als k\u00f6nnte Apple es sich langfristig leisten, iOS in der EU ohne AI-Integration anzubieten, w\u00e4hrend die Konkurrenz genau das tut. Allerdings k\u00f6nnte das noch etwas dauern.
