The launch of Apple Intelligence in China before the end of 2025
According to the last Power on Newsletter By Mark Gurman (via Bloomberg), Apple now targets the launch of Apple Intelligence in China before the end of the year.
China remains one of Apple’s largest iPhone markets, but despite this, they have not yet received the generator since the company made it available via iOS 18.
That said, Apple would have been exposed to the United States and China, the superpower of East Asia demanding that the giant of Cupertino technology is associated with a local regulator to make the launch possible.
According to 9TO5MACApple previously associated itself with Alibaba for the launch of Apple Intelligence.
First American technology AI coming to China?
It was revealed by information according to which Apple planned to launch Apple Intelligence in China with the release of its iOS 26.1 or iOS 26.2, which takes place later this year.
In addition, Apple Chinese employees have already tested the features under Apple Intelligence in the country.
If Apple succeeds with its release, it would be the first AI model of an American technology company to launch in China while the developments of IA Openai, Google and Microsoft have not yet been shared with the country.
Us and China’s Ai Tech War
The AI has long been in development, many companies already integrating it into their existing infrastructure. However, when the generating AI emerged with the beginnings of Openai Chatgpt in late 2022, it completely changed the whole landscape.
Despite this, in 2024, China admitted that its artificial intelligence sector is lagging behind the United States. The country has already called for a massive accent on emerging technology.
One of the largest obstacles has been faced in recent years is the sanctions of the United States concerning its use of American flea technology, Huawei being one of the largest Chinese companies to suffer.
The United States also prevented China from accessing AI fleas designed by the Americans on the market, with Nvidia technology, as well as others, which kept the hands of Beijing.
