alt Hacker NewsYet Gemini had no issues to comply with EU's DMA and release on all phones?
Let's call it how it is: Android phones allow every competitor to run their chatbot in place of Gemini. Want Perplexity instead of Gemini? You can have it. Samsung launches with Perplexity as of late.
Apple? As always, went into "ay mate, too integrated, can't give the same APIs to competitors" lame excuse.

If the options are "launch in the rest of the world quickly and get to the EU later" or "launch everywhere at once years after the competition" PMs and execs are going to choose the latter every time.
Are you sure about that?

That's not fully true. Lots of things get to Europe later (Gemini memories, though we have them now, Spark as latest noteworthy)
Or never. Like the majority of Pixel 10 on device AI features (image editing, magic cue).
Appples architecture prevents them from seeing customers data (see Private Cloud Compute documentation). Data that Gemini Assistant (not referring to the distilled version Apple uses) see goes straight to Google. Big difference here.
Weird to say it but the only assistant with any guarantee for privacy by design is Siri at the moment.
