Apple Intelligence is coming to China with iOS 27.3
Original title: Apple Intelligence is finally coming to China with iOS 27.3
A November 4 beta adds earlier features and Alibaba’s Qwen, not the new Siri; the full release is set for December.
Apple said it will bring some of the first Apple Intelligence features to China in an iOS 27.3 beta launching November 4, with the full iOS 27.3 release scheduled for December. The release covers notification summaries, real-time translation, rewriting and proofreading, visual intelligence, and object removal from photos, but not the new Siri AI. Apple said it worked with Alibaba to add Qwen in some experiences. China approved Apple Intelligence in July; Reuters reported in August that Apple trained its own LLM for China.
Unconfirmed: The claim that Apple trained a China-specific LLM comes from an August Reuters report, not this announcement.
