In a move reflecting heightened regulatory scrutiny of Big Tech, an EU Commission spokesperson stated that Apple failed to make its AI tools compliant with European Union regulations. According to reports, the Commission rejected Apple's request for an exemption from interoperability obligations for its new Siri tool under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). This confirmation clarifies that Apple's decision to withhold AI features in Europe follows its unsuccessful attempt to bypass mandatory legal requirements.

Per market data, Microsoft (MSFT) closed at $295.63 while Meta (META) reached $568.43 (close June 11, 2026), highlighting varying market reactions to different regulatory environments. Analysts suggest that Brussels' insistence on interoperability is designed to prevent monopolistic practices in the emerging digital assistant sector.
