Apple executive chairman Tim Cook said in Beijing that the first batch of Apple Intelligence core features has been approved for users in China, including live translation, the Photos Clean Up tool and writing tools, and will reach users in a beta later this month. He said the release excludes Siri AI and the other next-generation Apple Intelligence features Apple introduced at its developer conference this year. Regulatory filings previously listed the "Apple智能" model as registered by Apple Technology Development (Shanghai), with Alibaba's Qwen to be integrated as the local AI capability across iOS, iPadOS, macOS and visionOS; analyst Mark Gurman reported that the full release of the first features is planned for December via iOS 27.3.
