Apple Intelligence completes regulatory registration for iPad and Mac in China

Apple has successfully completed the necessary regulatory registration for its AI-powered features, Apple Intelligence, to be used on iPads and Mac computers in China, according to a report by Shanghai's cyberspace regulator. This comes ahead of the anticipated December launch of Apple Intelligence on iOS 27.3, as initially announced by the tech giant.

Apple Intelligence will rely on Alibaba's Qwen model to offer certain AI functionalities on these platforms. Although the initial rollout of the service commenced with iPhone support in July, following a series of regulatory approvals and negotiations, Apple has yet to confirm whether iPad and Mac support will coincide with the December launch.
