Shanghai's cyberspace regulator added iPads and Mac laptops to Apple Intelligence's registration on Monday, clearing the service for those devices in China, Reuters reported. Chinese rules require companies to register AI models and chatbot-style services before offering them publicly.

The service had already received approval for iPhones in mid-July. Alibaba's Qwen model will power features including Siri, Writing Tools and visual intelligence in China. Apple has scheduled its first iPhone features for December with iOS 27.3, but did not say on Monday when Apple Intelligence would reach iPads and Macs there.
