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.
replyThe business model is the reason they won’t deliver the feature (allowing the end-user to choose the backend model).
replyThis just means the feature has little ROI or market value
replyYes, it doesn’t have enough ROI potential with the given regulation.
replyApple isn’t giving up the market of neither the EU nor China.
replyThey 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
replyThey 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.
The EC wrote the DMA. There is nothing to "interpret" for them.
replyMy Brother in Christ, different administrations can and do "interpret" laws differently all the time. Sometimes even the same administration might change how they enforce a law.
replyAlso, technically didn't the EU Parliament write and pass the DMA, and the EC enforces it? I'm not European so I don't know the intricate details of the incredibly Byzantine process of the EU so maybe I'm wrong there
