Discover how Apple’s AI features may roll out in China with iPhone 16, and the challenges it faces against local brands like Huawei.
European buyers of the iPhone 16 might wait for new Apple Intelligence features. However, Chinese buyers could get them sooner, especially after the iOS 18 update.
A local analyst said Apple’s privacy focus and AI work might make it the first foreign company to get AI approval in China.
In the US, Apple has partnered with OpenAI for ChatGPT. It plans a big investment that could raise the company’s value to $100 billion.
In China, only local AI companies have been approved so far. ChatGPT is still unavailable. Apple might team up with Baidu for its AI needs, similar to Samsung. This could delay Apple’s AI features in China.
Meanwhile, Apple faces tough competition from local companies like Huawei. Huawei’s shipments jumped by 44%, while Apple’s fell by 6%. Ivan Lam from Counterpoint Research predicts more competition for Apple’s premium market.
Despite this, Apple remains a sought-after brand in China. Consumers want to upgrade from the iPhone 14 Pro Max to the new iPhone 16 Pro Max. They are drawn by its bigger screen and faster processor, despite the Apple features.
