Apple Intelligence begins mainland China beta with Qwen integration
GeekPark reports that Apple Intelligence opened to mainland China developer-beta users on November 4 with iOS 27.3, ahead of a planned general release in December alongside the iOS 27.3 final version. According to the report, Apple confirmed a partnership with Alibaba to integrate Qwen into Siri, Writing Tools, and Visual Intelligence, allowing users in China to invoke capabilities from a domestic large language model directly through the system. The initial release includes Live Translation, Writing Tools, Visual Intelligence, photo erasure, Genmoji, and notification summaries. The newly demonstrated Siri AI and some next-generation AI capabilities announced at WWDC26 are not included in this update.
The report describes Apple Intelligence's regional rollout in mainland China, including a confirmed partnership to bring Qwen capabilities into several system features. The initial beta is not the full suite because the newer Siri AI and some capabilities announced at WWDC26 remain absent.

Apple 智能国行上线，苹果大涨超 6% 重返美股市值第一
11 月 4 日，Apple 智能伴随 iOS 27.3 的 Developer Beta 向中国大陆用户开放测试，并计划于 12 月随 iOS 27.3 正式版推出。与此同时，苹果也确认与阿里巴巴达成合作，将千问接入 Siri、写作工具及视觉智能，让中国用户能够通过系统直接调用国内大模型的能力。
不过，这一次上线的并不是完整版 Apple 智能。首批功能主要包括实时翻译、写作工具、视觉智能、照片消除、智绘表情、通知摘要等，而苹果此前展示的新一代 Siri AI，以及 WWDC26 公布的部分下一代 AI 能力，仍然不在此次更新范围内。
当日，苹果 (AAPL.US) 大涨超 6%，报 353.05 美元，总市值再度突破 5 万亿美元，重返美股市值第一。(来源：格隆汇)
