Great news for EU-based Apple fans of AI assistants! It looks like the company is planning to allow users to swap out Siri for third-party voice assistants to comply with upcoming EU regulations. This means that alternatives like Google Assistant or even ChatGPT could soon be available to iPhone users.

According to internal company documents seen by TechCrunch, Apple plans to allow users to select a default assistant app, and Siri will no longer be the only option. The regulations, known as the Digital Markets Act (DMA), are designed to foster competition and innovation by forcing big tech companies to allow users to swap out default options. Apple has reportedly been pushing back against the regulations, but it now seems they will indeed comply with the rules.

While there is no official confirmation on when we can expect these changes, it looks like Apple will have to make the shift sometime before the DMA rules come into full force in 2024. So, users may soon have more choice when it comes to mobile assistants, which could lead to the development of even more innovative and advanced AI technologies.

Stay tuned!
