By Editor • August 14, 2026 • 1 min read
Apple is gearing up to introduce its own AI model tailored for the Chinese market, powered by Alibaba’s Qwen AI, according to a recent Reuters report.
This move marks a significant milestone, as it positions Apple as the first foreign entity to secure approval from Chinese regulators for a proprietary AI model. The new features are expected to be rolled out in the coming months, coinciding with software updates for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro.
Previously, Apple has relied on third-party AI solutions from major players like Google and OpenAI.
