No it’s not. So far they’ve chosen to go with a simple feature flag but eventually it may require a pullout. Especially if the EU fines them for not releasing

  > So far they’ve chosen to go with a simple feature flag but eventually it may require a pullout. Isn't that entirely your speculation, not supported by anything Apple has actually said or done? As far as I can recall, the most notable example of an Apple product getting a limited rather than global release was the Vision Pro—and that was just a slow roll-out to new countries, not exclusion from the entire EU. And on the other hand, there's a long list of products where Apple has shipped with regional differences in features, both software and hardware. > Especially if the EU fines them for not releasing features in the EU. Has the EU actually made that threat yet? Because it would be quite a stretch to accuse Apple of making a threat to the EU in response to a threat from the EU that hasn't actually been stated.

    The quote literally says “stop shipping our products”. That’s the literal threat.
