Apple Intelligence completes regulatory registration for iPad and Mac in China

Apple has completed an important regulatory step ahead of Apple Intelligence’s expected launch in China this December. Here are the details.

In late October, Apple published a press release on its Chinese Newsroom website confirming its intention to launch Apple Intelligence in China this December, as part of iOS 27.3.

Apple went on to release the first iOS 27.3 developer beta a few days later, allowing users in China to test Apple Intelligence ahead of its public launch.

In its press release, however, Apple also noted that the initial rollout would be limited to iPhones, as support for other platforms was still pending regulatory approval.

Now, as spotted by Reuters , Apple Intelligence “has been ‌registered for use on tablets and laptops in China, Shanghai’s cyberspace regulator said on Monday.”

For context, generative AI services must complete a regulatory registration process before they can launch publicly in China.

Apple Intelligence, which, in China, relies on Alibaba’s Qwen model to power certain AI features, had already received regulatory approval for iPhones in July, following months of delays and negotiations with Chinese authorities.

With today’s registration, Apple has cleared another regulatory hurdle ahead of Apple Intelligence’s launch in China. However, the company has yet to confirm whether iPad and Mac support will also arrive in December.
