Apple Intelligence has completed regulatory registration for use on tablets and laptops in China, Shanghai's cyberspace regulator said Monday, according to Reuters reporting cited by 9to5Mac. Generative AI services must complete that process before launching publicly in the country. Apple had previously announced a December launch limited initially to iPhones, with other platforms awaiting approval. Certain Apple Intelligence features in China use Alibaba's Qwen model. The registration clears a regulatory hurdle for iPad and Mac support, but Apple has not confirmed whether those platforms will join the December rollout.
