Apple plans to debut AI features in China in December

After two years of regulatory roadblocks, Apple Intelligence is reportedly slated to reach mainland Chinese iPhones before the year ends Apple plans to roll out its first AI features in China in December. That ends a wait that has stretched since Apple Intelligence first arrived in the US in 2024. China is one of Apple’s most important markets, and local rivals have spent that gap shipping phones with AI baked in. Apple, meanwhile, has been selling iPhones there with one of their headline features switched off. The first major hurdle fell on July 15, 2026.
