Insiders reveal that Apple will collaborate with Chinese tech giant Alibaba to develop AI features for iPhone users in China. This news marks a new advancement in Apple's partnerships in the AI sector within the Chinese market.
In recent months, Apple has been actively evaluating multiple potential partners, including Tencent, ByteDance, Alibaba, and Deepseek, with the aim of creating AI features for the domestic iPhone. After thorough consideration, Apple ultimately chose to partner with Alibaba.
It is reported that during the evaluation process, Apple found that although teams like Deepseek have certain strengths in the AI field, they still lack the manpower and experience to support large clients with extensive user bases and high technical requirements, like Apple. Therefore, Apple decided to collaborate with Alibaba to jointly promote the adoption and application of AI features among iPhone users in China.
This partnership not only reflects Apple's commitment to the Chinese market but also showcases Alibaba's strong capabilities and technological advantages in the AI sector. In the future, both parties will work together to provide Chinese iPhone users with a smarter and more convenient experience.
