Apple Receives Regulatory Clearance for AI Services in China

Apple received clearance from Shanghai’s cyberspace regulator to register its generative AI services for iPads and Macs in China. The company plans to launch the features in December through the iOS 27.3 update, using Alibaba’s Qwen technology for Siri and other AI capabilities. The approval follows clearance for Apple Intelligence on iPhones in July and supports Apple’s efforts to compete with domestic rivals in China.
