iOS 18: Unavailable Features for Belgium Users
iOS 18 Features Affected by EU Regulations
The eagerly anticipated iOS 18 update is facing significant delays for users in Belgium due to the European Digital Markets Act (DMA). Although Apple unveiled several exciting features during WWDC 2024, many will remain inaccessible to Belgian consumers for the foreseeable future. This includes crucial elements that were expected to revolutionize the iPhone experience.
Apple Intelligence and Key Features Unavailable
- Apple Intelligence, touted as a groundbreaking addition, is set for a 2025 debut in Belgium.
- Integration of hiking itineraries has limited functionalities, focusing only on select areas.
Impact of macOS Sequoia on iPhone Functionality
With macOS Sequoia, attempts to bridge iPhone and Mac experience have hit roadblocks. Users will face a lack of significant features such as:
- iPhone Mirroring, which allows controlling iPhones from Macs, remains absent.
- SharePlay Screen Mirroring, enabling FaceTime participants to share control, is still unannounced for Belgium.
Apple is reportedly navigating complex regulations from the EU, ensuring compliance before rollouts in Europe. Therefore, users must wait for official announcements before accessing these highly anticipated features in Belgium.
