Apple Wins China Approval for Intelligence Features, Siri AI Requires More Work
Apple received Chinese regulatory approval to roll out original features of its Apple Intelligence suite, but Siri AI integration still requires additional work. Meanwhile, the CFO noted softness in App Store mobile gaming revenue.
During a conference call, CEO Tim Cook announced that China has cleared the initial Apple Intelligence features for deployment. However, the company indicated that further regulatory steps are needed before Siri's AI capabilities can be introduced in the country.
Separately, the CFO highlighted weakness in mobile gaming revenue through the App Store, pointing to a softer demand segment. The mixed update comes as Apple navigates ongoing work to secure full AI deployment in China while its services business faces headwinds.
