Apple’s AI is one step closer to reaching millions more devices in China Apple
Apple Intelligence‘s long-awaited rollout in China is getting closer to covering the company’s wider ecosystem. After securing regulatory approval for iPhones earlier this year, Apple has now completed another important registration process that could finally bring its AI features to iPads and MacBooks in the country.
According to a Reuters report, Shanghai’s cyberspace regulator confirmed on November 9 that Apple Intelligence has completed registration for use on tablets and notebook computers. This is a major development for Apple, which has spent nearly two years navigating China’s regulatory requirements for generative AI services. It basically removes a previously outstanding hurdle for expanding Apple Intelligence beyond the iPhone.
Apple Intelligence’s China rollout is getting back on track Apple
Back in July, China’s cyberspace regulator approved Apple Intelligence for iPhones, clearing one of the biggest obstacles to its introduction in the country. At the time, however, the approval did not extend to iPads, Macs, or other Apple devices. As I previously reported, Apple subsequently outlined plans to introduce its AI features in China this December.
