Apple is partnering with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba to develop Apple Intelligence features for iPhones in China. The companies have jointly developed artificial intelligence features and submitted them to Chinese internet regulators for approval. The collaboration comes as Apple faces challenges in Greater China, the only region where its Q1 sales declined YoY. Apple shares rose more than 2% following the news, while Alibaba’s US-listed shares gained 1%. Apple Intelligence, a key selling point of iPhone 16, has been unavailable in China since its launch in October last year.
