- The new availability report concerns a developer preview, not a general stable release.
- IT Home links the China offering to Alibaba's Qwen integration.
A developer-preview rollout
Apple Intelligence and Siri have appeared on mainland-China iPhones running the latest iOS 27.3 developer preview, according to an IT Home test published on November 4. The outlet says users can find the feature's settings page after updating to the new preview.
The report identifies iPhone 15 Pro and newer models as compatible, citing Apple's China website. That compatibility statement and the test concern eligible hardware and preview software; they should not be read as confirmation that every feature is available to every user.
Qwen connection and scope
Citing its earlier reporting, IT Home says Apple partnered with Alibaba and integrates Qwen into parts of the China experience, including Siri, writing tools and visual intelligence. It says users can access Qwen within the system after signing into a Qwen account or using Sign in with Apple.
The immediate news is the outlet's observed settings availability in a developer build. The report does not establish a stable-release rollout date or independently benchmark the quality of the integrated AI services.
