According to the 'Wangxin Shanghai' official account, Apple Intelligence completed its generative AI service filing under China's Interim Measures for Generative AI Services, adding iPad and MacBook as applicable scenarios, now covering phone, tablet and laptop. On 29 September, several iPhone models also had their filings renewed with added LLM filing numbers (Apple Intelligence, Tongyi Wanxiang, Tongyi Qianwen).

What it means for you

  • Foreign companies offering generative AI services in China must complete filing under the Interim Measures, and new scenarios or device types require filing updates.
  • Filings are tied to specific models/scenarios; complete filing changes before launching new device categories to avoid compliance risk.
  • Apple achieved localization compliance by pairing with Alibaba's Tongyi models — a reference path for foreign models entering China.
