BRUSSELS, June 21 (Reuters) - Apple ( AAPL ) will delay

the launch of some new artificial intelligence features because

landmark EU tech rules require it to ensure that rival products

and services can function with its tools, the U.S. tech group

said on Friday.

The company said these features - Phone Mirroring, SharePlay

Screen Sharing enhancements, and Apple Intelligence - will not

be rolled out to EU users this year.

"Specifically, we are concerned that the interoperability

requirements of the DMA (Digital Markets Act) could force us to

compromise the integrity of our products in ways that risk user

privacy and data security," Apple ( AAPL ) said in an email.
