Apple has secured regulatory approval to launch Apple Intelligence on iPhones in China, marking a major step towards bringing its AI features to one of its largest smartphone markets. The service will integrate AI models from Alibaba and Baidu to comply with local regulations, although Apple has not confirmed a rollout date. The approval comes after a lengthy wait, as China’s rules require generative AI services to obtain clearance before public release. Apple recently reported higher iPhone shipments in China during the second quarter.
