Apple pushed the iOS 18.6 developer preview Beta update to iPhone users today. This is also the first beta version of iOS 18.6.
As usual, iOS 18.6 will be the last version of the iOS 18 era. Earlier, there were reports that Apple would launch the Apple Intelligence feature for the Chinese market in this version.
I regret to tell you that after the first batch of users tested it, there is still no trace of it.
It is reported that Apple Intelligence for the Chinese iPhone is provided through a third party service, integrating the big models of Alibaba and Baidu.
Among them, Wenxin Yiyan is the core cloud engine, and Alibaba is responsible for Apple’s content compliance review.
In fact, starting from iOS 18.5, Apple Intelligence has already supported the Chinese version. Apple’s preparations are already in place, and currently it is more of a review issue.
Apple not only has to face China’s censorship, but also the United States’ regulation.
The United States is worried that Apple’s cooperation with Baidu and Alibaba will allow the latter to learn America’s “advanced” technology.
