It is very funny why Apple Intelligence still isn’t available in Polish ? The country with almost 40 millions of people hasn’t Siri and Apple AI in polish language. That’s abnormal. I Think Polish is simplier than Vietnamese or few asian languages :mad:

Germany counts as one, France counts as two and Poland would count as three. So, as long as it’s not in Poland (or anywhere else in the EU) they avoid gatekeeper fines.:)
That completely ignores that Spain and Italy exist.

Apple Intelligence is ONLY available in Germany and France in the EU.
This is incorrect.
Sent from an iPhone with Apple Intelligence from the EU (not Germany or France)
