Frequently Asked Questions
Is Apple Intelligence processed on-device?
Partially. Simple AI tasks are processed on-device (fully private), but more complex requests go to Apple's Private Cloud Compute in the US. Apple has published strong transparency commitments, but US legal jurisdiction still applies to cloud processing.
Is Apple Intelligence available in the EU?
Apple delayed Apple Intelligence rollout in the EU due to regulatory uncertainty under the Digital Markets Act. As of 2025 it is being rolled out gradually. EU users remain in a grey area regarding GDPR compliance for the cloud processing component.
