Apple Intelligence is finally coming to China with iOS 27.3

Apple announced on its Chinese newsroom site that Apple Intelligence will launch in China with iOS 27.3, starting with a beta on November 4th and a full release in December. The launch includes earlier features such as notification summaries, real-time translation, rewriting and proofreading tools, visual intelligence, and object removal in photos, but not the new Siri AI. Apple also says it worked with Alibaba to add support for its Qwen chatbot in some experiences, similar to the ChatGPT integration launched in 2024.
