Apple Intelligence to begin China beta on November 4 with Qwen integration
ITHome reports that Apple Intelligence will integrate Alibaba’s Qwen in China, with iOS developer beta testing starting November 4 and a public rollout planned for December with iOS 27.3. Users can access Qwen through Siri, Writing Tools and Visual Intelligence. Initial features include live translation, text editing and photo cleanup, but the update excludes Siri AI.
What to know
- 01
Users can access Qwen within the system through a Qwen account or Sign in with Apple, without switching to a separate app.
- 02
Support for other platforms will follow necessary approvals; Alibaba previously confirmed that integration would also extend to iPadOS, macOS and visionOS.
Why it matters
The integration will give users in China access to Qwen within Apple’s system features, but the initial rollout does not include every announced Apple Intelligence feature.
