JAKARTA Apple Intelligence, Apple's Artificial Intelligence (AI) initiative, will finally be present in China. According to news circulating, the AI initiative will be launched at the end of this year.

This is very important news, especially for iPhone users in the country. Apple Intelligence has been launched since last year through the launch of iOS 18 and a number of devices can already access some of its features.

However, users in China cannot access this sophisticated capability due to strict government regulations. Apple must have permission from local regulators to release its generative AI products.

Untuk mendapatkan izin, Apple terpaksa bekerja sama dengan perusahaan lokal Alibaba pada awal tahun ini. Pasalnya, raksasa teknologi itu tidak bisa mengintegrasikan model AI milik OpenAI dan Google ke Apple Intelligence di China.

This happened because both were not available in the country. Apple was supposed to release its AI technology in the middle of this year, but its launch had to be delayed. Reportedly, Apple Intelligence's launch permit was delayed due to a strong conflict between China and the US.

Despite the many obstacles, Apple continues to work on launching Apple Intelligence. Launching from the Power On bulletin from Mark Gurman, Apple plans to release this feature in conjunction with iOS 26.1 or iOS 26.2. Currently, Apple is testing the feature with their employees in China.

This release time is considered very important for Apple. The company will launch its newest iPhone 17 lineup in the near future. Apple considers the Apple Intelligence feature as the main selling point for its new iPhone models.
