Apple could bring AI support for Chinese iPhones in April to rival Huawei

Apple is rumored to bring AI support for Chinese iPhones in April, challenging Huawei. Some recent claims on social media platforms hint that the American tech giant may soon push the “Apple Intelligence” upgrade to iPhone customers in China.
Despite a flagship lineup, the Apple iPhone 16 series didn’t bring AI support to Chinese consumers. The company said to introduce an AI upgrade later this year.
Looks like Apple is finally planning to bring AI support for iPhones in April to compete with its Chinese competitors like Huawei. Tipster @RuigePlaysDigital says that the Chinese version of Apple AI is scheduled for the second quarter of this year.
The tipster adds that Chinese iPhone users may soon be able to experience the Apple Intelligence solution on their handset with impressive features and AI capabilities.
The rumor could be accurate to some extent. Apple already promised to unveil AI features for iPhones in 2025. Perhaps the company may fulfill its words in the coming months.

Apple AI iPhones vs Huawei Pura 80?
Huawei is likely to launch its next Pura handsets in Q2 2025. The lineup may bring ultimate features and smart upgrades over its predecessors. It will also unlock interesting AI enhancements to offer a whole new level of user experience.
Thus, the American firm is seemingly making efforts to push back its biggest rival in China with new AI capabilities. But an official statement awaits this news.
Apple has yet to confirm this matter. However, if Apple Intelligence reaches China in April, it would cast a huge showdown between the iPhone maker and Huawei.
The American company is facing several downfalls in China. Regardless of new changes in the iPhone 16 series, it failed to grab Chinese consumers’ attention due to the lack of AI. Now Apple’s AI hype has once again started surfacing on the Internet.
It would be worth seeing if the Apple Intelligence introduction in China will help the American tech maker to rise in the Chinese smartphone market or whether it will continue to face the same challenges as before.
