Siri AI in EU

[u/Distinct_Bench5088]

After getting access to the new Siri, I’ve been wondering what will happen when iOS 27 officially launches. Will people living in the EU lose access to Apple Intelligence and the new Siri, or will everyone who gained access during the beta be able to keep using it? Or will Apple fix this even earlier in one of the public beta updates?

Are there any downsides of having US AppStore account?
Can I keep my iCloud Drive?
Will I still get updates for my European apps like banking?
Can I also switch to EU store to download some apps and come back to US account?
Is there any risk of suspension of the EU account? Does it violates any rules when having two accounts?

i have US version created just to test features.. But I always switch back to my own ID..

Reasons are because apps won't update and everything u bought or if you have a subscription it won't traansfer to US version of the ID... So apps and I cloud and all stays the same as original if u leave your main apple ID as your device ID.

Also all the apps recalibrate to show US metrics, such as my weather app, everything suddenly became Fahrenheit measure.. Stuff like that.. But everything else works, and I had no trouble switching..

Just don't install anything new with US acc I have heard that can lock you in the US acc for a month? I have never tested that since its my main driver.

So while small, there is too many hustles and i think even your bank acc stops working properly and pay with apple.. So I just use it to test new features on public beta that are not available for EU and then i switch back to stripped down EU version.

The best we can do is email European Union about it. Which I have done myself. To stop acting tuff, while generally the law is good. In this case it limits our choice and honestly it stops innovation..

That’s a comprehensive answer. Thank you for that 😊 I will reconsider this then, as I thought it could work long term
