Apple Will Reportedly Let iPhone Users in the EU Switch Away From Siri

Apple will allow iPhone users in the European Union to replace Siri with third-party voice assistants starting in 2025.
This change follows the EU's Digital Markets Act, which aims to boost competition and user choice by requiring default app override options.
The upcoming updates in iOS versions 18.5 and 19 will introduce a feature for EU users that allows selecting third-party assistants, such as Google Assistant and ChatGPT, to manage common tasks on the device.
Apple's next-generation Siri, powered by a large language model and delayed until iOS 19, remains exclusive outside the EU but faces pressure to evolve under new rules.
This shift represents a significant regulatory-driven move toward more user autonomy and may increase innovation, though wider implications depend on third-party integration depth.
