US EditionApple 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.

- 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.
