Apple will not launch these new iOS 26 features in European Union due to over-regulation

Apple will not release certain planned features, like the 'visited places' service, in the European Union this year due to Digital Markets Act regulations that could compromise users' security and privacy.
Apple's Vice President, Kyle Andeer, stated that complying with these regulations has led to delays in the release of products and features for EU customers, and opening up the ecosystem to competitors could pose security risks.
Andeer criticized the Digital Markets Act for creating privacy, security, and safety risks for users, as the law makes it more complex to introduce new software features in Europe.
The Wall Street Journal report also includes commentary from MacDailyNews highlighting Apple's history and legal challenges, such as facing a lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Justice and exploring AI technology for Siri's new version.
