The company led by Tim Cook needs a local partner to be able to provide Apple information in China, as required by local regulations. And Apple has already made an ally, according to information: The elected representative is Alibaba, not DeepseekAs some believed.
Apple will bring its artificial intelligence in China by Alibaba
The information report reveals that Apple would have analyzed and surveyed the possibility of having an alliance with other companies, such as Bytedance, Tencent, Baidu and even with Deepseek, but ultimately, the company decided to Bring your artificial intelligence in alliance with Alibaba. And after the alliance’s announcement, Alibaba's actions increased their value by almost 3.5%.
Apple would have chosen Alibaba due to the robustness and efficiency of the model developed by the company founded by Jack Ma, called Qwen. Among other things, the model stands out in its ability to process personalized data. Thus, the two companies, the American and China, presented their proposal for artificial intelligence before the regulatory entities in China for approval.
If the agreement is specified (that is to say to receive the approval of Chinese regulators), Apple intelligence would arrive in China in April in simplified Chinese.
China is a very important market for Apple, as for other companies. And the absence of Apple Intelligence had a negative effect on iPhone sales: according to Apple's latest financial report, IPhone sales dropped by 11% Compared to the same period of last year in the region (taking into account the data of continental China, Hong Kong and Taiwan).
It should also be mentioned that, even, the company has obtained Get more income in the world In this quarter.
