Overview
- Apple’s iOS 27.3 developer preview for mainland China includes Apple Intelligence and Siri updates that call a localized AI service provided by Alibaba’s Qianwen.
- Users can invoke Qianwen from Siri, the system writing tools, and visual intelligence features to handle both text and image understanding tasks.
- A hands‑on test by IT之家 found that Apple Intelligence queries and generated content synchronize into the Qianwen app for later access.
- The Qianwen app exposes synced results with voice playback, sharing, copy, favorite and regenerate controls, and it stores both visual outputs and text creations.
- Because this is a developer preview the behavior and availability could change before public release, and the integration signals a move by Apple to use a local AI partner that routes some user queries and outputs into a third‑party app.
