Apple rolls out new Siri AI to EU Macs, restricting iPhone access and younger users

Apple has begun rolling out its new Siri AI capabilities, but with significant regional restrictions. The AI-powered assistant is available on Macs in the EU, but not on iPhones in the same region. Additionally, accounts for users under 13 will not have access to the assistant at all, and Screen Time features will now impose daily limits on social app usage. Further language support is expected in October, with expanded access potentially available for a fee later, though initial publisher integrations report no click-throughs. AI

IMPACT Apple's limited rollout of its new Siri AI highlights regional policy differences and potential user segmentation strategies.
