Beijing Registers Apple Intelligence For Use On Chinese IPhones
The Cyberspace Administration's July 15 filing lists the assistant as one of seven newly approved on-device AI services.
- CAC's notice, dated July 15, 2026, named the service 'Apple智能' in Chinese.
- Apple joins six other newly registered on-device generative AI services for smartphones.
- China requires every public generative AI service to file with the CAC before launch.
Why it matters: No algorithm answers a Chinese user until a government office has approved what it may say.
