Does this apply to Apple to have something separate to Siri in iOS?

No, the procedure was specifically against Google Android and the decision document (https://ec.europa.eu/competition/digital_markets_act/cases/2...) is titled "CASE DMA.100220| Alphabet - OS - Google Android - Art. 6(7) - SP - AI". It doesn't mention the existence of other market parties than Alphabet/Google/Android, from what I saw in a quick read-through

It sounds reasonable to apply the same logic to all vendors with similar market power, though. Perhaps this opens the door for an accelerated procedure against Apple as well
