Apple announced that selected Apple Intelligence features will enter developer testing in China on November 4 and reach public release with iOS 27.3 in December. They include Writing Tools, Genmoji, photo cleanup, notification summaries and Live Translation, with Alibaba’s Qwen integrated into Siri, Writing Tools and Visual Intelligence. Supported hardware includes the iPhone 15 Pro family and later eligible models, subject to language-setting requirements. Mac, iPad and other platforms await necessary approvals. The schedule is now official rather than merely reported, but the newer Siri AI and Image Playground are not part of the same China rollout.
