Yeah, I wish there was an easy way to thumbs-down a petition.

> Whatever the dispute between Apple and EU regulators

Sounds like OP doesn't even know what the topic is, he just wants new Siri on his iPhone, and that's enough reason to pressure regulators into bending the rules in Apple's direction.

As another iPhone customer in the EU, I'd much rather prefer EU and its sovereign member states to be able to make their own decisions. Even if that means I don't get to enable whatever the new hotness Apple comes up with this year.

Or alternatively: I could just switch to another phone maker who isn't as hostile as Apple.

It's funny you think Apple is the hostile party in the dispute.
It's funny someone takes an Apple statement at face value instead of reading it for exactly what it is: they asked to be excluded from the law that was introduced to prevent exactly what Apple is trying to do.

After being denied an exception (which would have made mockery of the law), they come out all passive aggressive how EU is "not constructive".
