Apple has announced that the first iOS 27.3 developer beta will be released next week, specifically on November 4, though this likely corresponds to November 3 in the United States due to time zone variations. The beta will be made available to the public in December, though no precise date has been disclosed. This beta version will enable certain Apple Intelligence features on iPhone 15 Pro and newer models in China, including Writing Tools, Genmoji, Clean Up, Notification Summaries, Priority Notifications, and Live Translation with AirPods.
However, advanced AI features like Siri AI and other newer Apple Intelligence enhancements unveiled at WWDC 2026 will remain unavailable in China on iOS 27.3. Apple has also formed a partnership with Alibaba to integrate its AI assistant, Qwen, into Siri, Writing Tools, and Visual Intelligence. For these features to function, both the iPhone and Siri must be configured with English and Chinese (Simplified) languages.
It is important to note that the Mac, iPad, and other devices in China will not gain access to Apple Intelligence features until Apple secures the required approvals.
