alt Hacker News> If Apple is only allowing its own AI to operate at the OS level
Incidentally, that’s what’s preventing Apple from rolling out their OS-privileged AI in the EU, as the EU mandates equal access for competing AI products. It will be interesting how this plays out.

I don't personally agree with EU's mandates. I think it's ok if Apple only allows their own models to run on iOS at the OS level.
If OpenAI makes their own AI-phone, do they have to let Anthropic and Deepseek run their models on it too?

Indeed according to Apple https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/06/due-to-dma-siri-ai-de... when allowing equal access for competing AI products
> Apple would have to give any virtual assistant direct access to users’ private data — and the ability to directly control other installed applications — as soon as Siri AI is made available in the EU
