Let us hope the EU forces Apple to allow the end-user to choose the external model: Wouldn’t it be amazing having privacy first local models calling out via a welldefined open protocol to a model of your choice: Claude, Grok, DeepSeek? Sounds like OS architecture done right - screw the kickback business model.

Apple isn’t giving up the market of neither the EU nor China.

Funny, OP wants them to force a feature via regulation, and regulation is the reason they won’t even deliver the feature in question. Death by regulation.

I think there’s a case that Apple’s commitment to privacy here will increase participation by 3rd party developers. For example, if I’m maintaining a secure chat app, I think I’d be more likely to adopt the APIs to share the chat messages with the system AI due to Apple’s promises that the data will either be processed On Device, or in their Private Compute Cloud. If I instead believe that sharing the chat messages w…

That’s not your data, why do you think you have the right to prevent the user from doing what they want? Other users shared that chat data with each other, you have no right to that data, so as an app developer I’d say you should not care about the API.

They didn't say they aren't shipping in China, just working through regulatory issues. I assume that means they're working on a China-operated "private" cloud compute instance like every other US cloud provider

They did say that they are specifically not shipping in the EU because of the DMA, so until the DMA or the EC's interpretation of the DMA, changes, these new AI features aren't shipping there. That is not the same thing as Apple abandoning the EU.

It’s the DMA regulation that forces Apple to give the same access as they have to other AI chat apps. Once it leaves the device Apple does not know what those other ai chat apps will do with the gathered data. > Siri AI is private by design and deeply integrated across Apple’s platforms using on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute, which extends the privacy and security of iPhone into the cloud. However, unde…

The business model is the reason they won’t deliver the feature (allowing the end-user to choose the backend model).

Let's actually not hope that, and let's not indulge the EU regulators' fantasies that they get to dictate the product design of products from non-EU countries.

Force Apple to support all kinds of arbitrary models? That's a comically bad idea.
