Apple recently deployed the IOS 18.4 publication candidate (RC) to beta developers and testers, a display update by allowing Apple Intelligence (IA) in the European Union (EU). However, the iPhone mirror is left in the dark for regional users of the iPhone.
Why is the iPhone Mirring blocked in the EU?
For those who do not know the iPhone, it is one of the most awaited features that allow users to reflect and control their wireless iPhone screen from their Mac.
With this feature, users can easily control notifications, use applications without jumping from one iPhone to another and respond to messages. Ironically, this will not yet be available in most European countries, according to Bloomberg.
Apple blames the lack of mirror iPhone in the EU on “regulatory uncertainty” caused by the law on digital markets (DMA). This antitrust law aims to encourage healthy competition and impose strict interoperability standards.
In the opinion of Apple, membership of these regulations can “compromise the integrity of our products” and constitute security threats to users.
Although Apple Intelligence, the continuation of features based on the company’s AI, has been approved in the EU with iOS 18.4, the iPhone, the mirror is always prohibited. The Cupertino giant did not specifically explain why he had made this differentiation, but continues to reference regulatory problems as the main reason.
Shareplay screen sharing is still prohibited
In addition to the iPhone Mirring, another feature disabled in the EU is shareplay screen sharing. This functionality intended for effortless screen sharing when making FaceTime calls is also prohibited for the same legal reasons.
Apple Intelligence develops with iOS 18.4
Despite these limits, iOS 18.4 provides exciting updates for EU users by introducing Apple Intelligence’s features in several languages. This decision expands the accessibility of AI -focused tools to improve the global user experience.
As for the launch date of iOS 18.4, 9TO5MAC Reports that we should expect what happens in early April, which is only a week old. However, EU users can expect the progress of AI, however; The iPhone screen sharing, the mirror and the shareplay can take longer to arrive.
