This part of iOS 18 does not come to the EU

When Apple announced IOS 18, it was announced that some functions such as Apple Intelligence would not be available in the European Union due to regulations. iOS 18.4 makes Apple Intelligence possible in the EU in English. Yet there is still one function that is nevertheless missing here: synchronous iPhone display or iPhone mirroring.

On Monday, Apple released the RC (Release Candidate) of iOS 18.4 to developers and betaesters. This update is the first to add non-English languages ​​to Apple Intelligence. It is also the first update that makes AI functions possible in the European Union in English. iOS 18.4 is officially released to the general public at the beginning of April.

No synchronous iPhone display (iPhone Mirroring)

It was obvious that the update to iOS 18.4 also makes the Synchrone iPhone display (iPhone Mirroring) possible in the EU. Unfortunately this is not the case. The function is also not available in most European countries after the update. iPhone Mirroring is a function that you can use to view and operate the screen of your iPhone wirelessly from your Mac.

According to Apple, the function is eliminated in the EU due to uncertainties in the regulations of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Apple claims that the DMA instructions imposed can force them to jeopardize the integrity of their products. And in this way they would also jeopardize users.

Apple does not say why the Apple intelligence is launching in the European Union, but not synchronous iPhone display. Shareplay screen sharing, a new way to share your screen via Facetime, is also not available in the EU.
