Apple Intelligence Rolling Out in the European Union Starting in April 2025

Apple plans to roll out Apple Intelligence features to iPhone and iPad users in the European Union starting in April 2025, according to information included in today's ‌Apple Intelligence‌ announcement in European countries.

Apple's newsroom post confirms that ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features will roll out beginning in April, with users gaining access to Writing Tools, Genmoji, a redesigned version of Siri, and more.

Mac users in the EU can access Apple Intelligence in U.S. English with macOS Sequoia 15.1. In April, Apple Intelligence features will start to roll out to iPhone and iPad users in the EU. This will include many of the core features of Apple Intelligence, including Writing Tools, Genmoji, a redesigned Siri with richer language understanding, ChatGPT integration, and more.

As of right now, EU Mac users can access ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features with macOS Sequoia 15.1, as long as the language on the device is set to U.S. English. Apple has restricted the launch of ‌Apple Intelligence‌ capabilities for the ‌iPhone‌ and ‌iPad‌ in order to work out "regulatory uncertainties brought about by the Digital Markets Act."

Apple in June said that it would delay ‌Apple Intelligence‌, ‌iPhone‌ Mirroring, and SharePlay Screen Sharing until it was able to determine how to make the features compatible with the European Union's competition rules.

‌iPhone‌ and ‌iPad‌ users in the European Union who have a U.S. App Store ID are able to use Apple Intelligence with the Language and Region on the device set to U.S. English. In a December iOS 18.2 update, ‌Apple Intelligence‌ will offer localized English in Ireland, as well as in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the U.K.

It is worth noting that ‌Apple Intelligence‌ support in European countries will likely come in an update to iOS 18, and the timing is right for iOS 18.4. Rumors suggest that iOS 18.4 will be a major update that brings improvements to ‌Siri‌, including personal context and the ability for the personal assistant to do more in and across apps.

EU has 24 official languages. Apple Intelligence will probably never fully support all of them. Here in Finland we never got even the basic predictive text input that english input system has had many many years. So all this AI buzz and “EU this and that” is kind of tiring.

To be fair to Apple, the EU are just bullies posing abitrary rules based on nonsense. If Apple had the relevant growth hormones then they could and SHOULD tell EU to comply with Apple OR Apple will remove all services from EU.
Stand up to bullies - always.
You mean unlike the laws in Russia or China that repress large parts of the population, which Apple implements quickly and precisely? Just to clarify what you mean.

The reality is that the bread and butter of AI features won't come until 18.4 in April 2025 any way, so it's not like the EU is missing out on much between now and then.

The Apple Intelligence logo still says beta. So I guess people in the EU are happy that the rest of the world will be Beta testing Apple Intelligence for them.
