Apple Intelligence Expansion to China Progresses With New Feedback Form

Apple may be getting closer to bringing Apple Intelligence to China, based on an ‌Apple Intelligence‌ feedback form that recently launched on the company's website. The form requires a +86 telephone number for feedback to be submitted, which suggests that it is designed for Apple users located in China rather than those who simply speak Chinese.

The site is designed to allow customers to share feedback on ‌Apple Intelligence‌, reporting information about content, privacy, and general functionality.

Customers can submit feedback on Writing Tools, the Photos Clean Up tool, notification summaries, the Reduce Interruptions Focus Mode, priority Mail messages, Smart Replies in Mail and Messages, and summaries in Mail, Messages, Safari, and Call Recordings in the Notes app.

As of right now, no ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features are available in China. Apple has been working to expand ‌Apple Intelligence‌ to China since the launch of iOS 18, but it has to partner with a Chinese AI company to deliver the AI functionality.

Apple has teamed up with Alibaba for ‌Apple Intelligence‌, but the rollout of the feature set was delayed in June due to ongoing trade issues between the United States and China. The U.S. and China have since reached a trade and tariff truce, which means Apple could soon clear regulatory hurdles.

iOS 26.2 will be the last version of iOS that launches before the end of the year, and it's possible that Apple might be able to implement support in the update if it has earned China's approval. There are no signs of ‌Apple Intelligence‌ support in China in the betas so far, and neither Apple nor Alibaba have provided a potential release date.

Update: Apple has removed the feedback form from its website.

I don’t see Apple blaming China publicly like how they blame the EU commission. It’s AI at this point !!!

I think Apple is actually in a good strategic position on AI going forward, with strong privacy measures, access to highly personal user data including health, and unparalleled on-device processing capabilities. But I can’t pretend to find much value in the existing Apple Intelligence features. I wouldn’t miss them if they all disappeared tomorrow.

I was recently sent a survey about my recent iPhone Air purchase that included a bunch of questions on how much Apple Intelligence influenced my purchase decision. I had to be honest that it had zero impact on my decision or my experience with device. They’re convenient here and there and that’s about it. Apple is just getting started on their vision, so I hope Apple Intelligence features get a lot more compelling over the next couple years.

I feel for you all in China - don't do the work for Cook.

But what do I know, I turned off Siri years ago, and notthing, absolutely nothing, I've heard have changed my mind.

Siri can’t even play an iPhone playlist without being online, so China will just laugh at such ‘intelligence’.
