Apple Intelligence Launches in China with Alibaba | Tech News

Apple Intelligence is finally launching in China, thanks to regulatory approval and a major partnership with Alibaba, integrating Qwen AI into iOS and macOS. This strategic move taps into Apple’s booming Chinese market—sales up 28% to over $20 billion, and Apple now ranks 2 in smartphone sales there. After exploring options with Baidu, DeepSeek, and ByteDance, Apple chose Alibaba to power localized AI experiences for Chinese users. Alibaba’s Qwen will handle text and image generation, though rollout timing remains unclear. The news sent Alibaba’s U.S. stock up 6% in pre-market trading—proof of the market’s confidence in this game-changing alliance.
