Apple Intelligence to launch in the EU in April 2025 for iPhones and iPads, macOS today
Apple Intelligence has been confirmed to be coming to the European Union in April 2025. The AI suite was initially expected to launch alongside the global release, which took place today, but it was delayed due to the Digital Markets Act but not for macOS.
The DMA, a set of regulations set in place in the E.U. to make it harder for large tech companies to stifle competition, effectively delayed Apple’s launch in that region. However, as Apple has confirmed, the delay only affects iPhone and iPad software, not macOS. Meaning that macOS users in the E.U. can start to use Apple Intelligence on their eligible Macs as early as today.
The first Apple Intelligence features, including Writing Tools and AI notification summaries, are now available for English speakers elsewhere.
