As an EU-based company deeply reliant on innovative products from the United States—particularly Apple’s hardware and services—we are increasingly concerned about the impact of rising tariffs and political posturing on global trade.

Apple’s recent decision to withdraw its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) service from the UK on February 21, 2025, marks a bold stand for digital privacy amid unprecedented government overreach. Confronted with a secret order mandating a global backdoor to access encrypted iCloud data—a demand that would have compromised user security on a massive scale—Apple chose to protect its users’ privacy rather than succumb to draconian measures. While this move leaves UK customers without the highest level of protection for certain iCloud data, it sends a powerful message that safeguarding personal information is non-negotiable, a stance that has resonated strongly with privacy advocates and lawmakers alike.

While the new products introduced incremental improvements, the announcement of "Apple intelligence at its core" for the iPhone 16 raised questions for users in the European Union, where regulatory challenges continue to cast doubt on product availability and functionality. As Apple faces ongoing legal disputes with the EU, including a €13 billion tax ruling, loyal customers like myself are left wondering if Apple's innovative products will ever be fully realised in the region.
