Apple is preparing to launch a first set of Apple Intelligence features, its AI platform, in mainland China, according to Bloomberg. The report, published October 14, cites people with knowledge of the matter.
What the report says
- The launch is planned for December, as part of the iOS 27.3 update.
- It would come after a lengthy regulatory delay that kept Apple's AI features out of one of its most important markets.
- It would include the AI features first rolled out in the U.S. two years ago on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
- It would not include the AI-powered Siri or other features announced this year, so it would not be the full platform.
Why it matters
China is one of Apple's biggest markets, and its AI features had not arrived there. For those who sell or work with customers in that market, or depend on suppliers that manufacture there, it is context on how the big platforms move.
