@daringfireball “It only hurts iPhone users who live in the EU, who are stuck with the old dumb version of Siri for the foreseeable future.”

Spot on. The DMA has totally backfired. It doesn’t bring us, the EU based users and developers, anything of value. We are just getting left behind.

The sad thing is that 99% of europeans have no idea what the DMA is, doesn’t know about Siri AI and don’t know what we are missing.

@nstrm @daringfireball if you read the EU's own review of the DMA effects you can see the actual positive effects of the DMA listed clearly in section 4
