The EU accounted for more than $24 billion in revenue last quarter, the most revenue outside of North America. Obviously this isn't something Apple takes lightly.
Take a look at Apple's Private Cloud Compute white paper [1] and explain how Apple's supposed to make it DMA-compliant without sacrificing its security and privacy guarantees. Short answer: they can't without essentially starting over.
EU residents will get all of the other iOS 18 features but not Apple Intelligence and a couple of others. The average EU citizen won't even know anything is missing.
Even for those who are paying attention, they're used to getting tech features long after they're available to the rest of the world.

Why should I figure it out for them? That's why they have so many highly skilled well paid engineers on their payroll, to solve stuff like this.
It's not my job to solve their cloud architecture design issues. Why don't they use some of that 24 Billion in EU revenue to engineer it to be EU privacy compliant?
And excuse me for not trusting their own biased interpretation of the reasoning why their clod architecture is incompatible with EU regulations. I have as much trust in that explanation as in a school kid explaining how he can't do his homework because his dog is eating it.
Until I get an unbiased opinion form a independent third party, I'm not buying Apples sob story tantrum.

"Europe", not the EU.
And Apple's "Europe" segment isn't even just Europe. It also includes India, the Middle East and Africa.
