Apple Intelligence and Health Features in China1:04 – 2:59

K

1:04

The ridiculously slow march toward Apple Intelligence in China may have taken another step forward.

K

1:11

Bloomberg says the Cupertino company is gearing up for a release.

K

1:16

I know, they've been doing that for...

K

1:18

It really has been years now, hasn't it? Certainly for a number of quarters anyway.

K

1:24

But we've got a date range this time.

K

1:27

According to the report, the iPhone maker is planning to launch Apple Intelligence in the region in December as part of an upcoming iOS 27.3 update, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

K

1:39

The debut will include the AI features first rolled out in the US two years ago on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

K

1:48

That, of course, means Siri AI is not included.

K

1:53

Bloomberg's secret peeps say that and other AI features announced this year will not be part of the December release.

K

2:00

Given the lengthy approval process in China, that is really not surprising.

K

2:06

Of course, there's also plenty of time for this to go sideways.

K

2:10

The report says the company originally thought Apple Intelligence would see launch in China in mid 2025.

K

2:16

That seemed to get pushed to the end of 2025.

K

2:20

Now, here we are talking about maybe the end of 2026.

K

2:25

Apple offered no comment for the Bloomberg report.

K

2:29

Less splashy, more certain, Apple has activated a new health functionality for the Middle Kingdom.

K

2:36

The Cupertino company issued a press release Wednesday saying its sleep apnea notifications had gone live in China.

K

2:44

Having gotten the go-ahead from China's National Drug Administration, the company says the sleep apnea detections will work for Apple Watch Series 9 or later, Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later, and Apple Watch SE 3 or later.
