It IS regulatory. The EU wants “anything Apple AI can do you have to let other AI providers do with equal access”.

Which is fucking stupid, and Apple will never, ever throw open the gates to something so dangerously braindead. Their entire reputation depends on it.

And China is kinda self-explanatory.

What is stupid about it? Sounds like (a slightly more) fair competition to me.

Yeah I hate freedom too.

You already have it. If you’re a fan of the “A loaded gun in every crib!” style of “freedom”, go buy something that isn’t an iPhone.

Let's not switch the goalposts here. Me having an option to not use something doesn't exclude the said party from going against user's freedom.

same argument can be applied to you, if you don't want to use Claude/OpenAI/Deepseek instead of Gemini, then DON'T!

China will get there first why because they’re run by engineers. Yes, they will have some stipulations but if you show them a good idea, it’s a good idea. They won’t stand on ceremony and say not invented here.
