Apple has officially released the Release Candidate (RC) version of iOS 18.4, typically indicating an imminent official release unless critical issues arise. A major highlight of this update is the upcoming launch of the Chinese version of Apple's AI features.
Consistent with previously announced information, the Simplified Chinese version of Apple Intelligence is expected to launch in early April alongside the official release of iOS 18.4. This means Chinese users will be able to enjoy more personalized and localized AI services.
It's noteworthy that Apple has partnered with Alibaba to provide services better tailored to the needs of Chinese users. Apple has submitted its AI features to relevant authorities for approval to ensure compliance with Chinese market regulations and standards.
Currently, the English version of Apple Intelligence is available and offers several useful features, including writing tools for text summarization and proofreading, suggested replies in messaging and email apps, notification summaries, and capabilities like image recognition, photo cleanup, video editing, text retrieval, and transcription of audio recordings. These features significantly enhance the user experience.
