A quiet but consequential dispute has emerged between Apple and the European Commission over who bears responsibility for the absence of advanced AI features — including an upgraded Siri — from European devices. Brussels insists the Digital Markets Act erects no barrier to these tools, placing the decision squarely with Apple itself. The disagreement is not merely technical; it asks a deeper question about whether rigorous regulation and technological progress can share the same ground, or whether one must yield to the other.
