Apple Inc. has recently released the iOS 18.1 Developer Preview Beta update for iPhone users, featuring the introduction of Apple Intelligence. Although this function is currently in the testing phase, with limited features available, it is temporarily unavailable on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max sold in China.
Apple customer service noted that since the system version has not been officially released, the specific functions will be subject to the final version that goes live.
Currently, Apple's AI is primarily applied in areas such as AI writing, AI image processing, and interaction across applications. Additionally, Siri integrated with Apple AI will offer a more natural and coherent conversational experience, capable of communicating based on context.
Despite the introduction of Apple AI facing some challenges in the Chinese market, mainly due to the need to comply with relevant policies and cooperate with domestic suppliers. There are rumors about Apple's contact with Baidu and Alibaba regarding generative large-model services, but informed sources have told the media that no cooperation agreements have been reached on this matter.
