Apple shares rose 1.76% to a record $333.26 and added another 0.47% after hours as Apple Intelligence reportedly completed China’s domestic generative AI filing on July 15, 2026, clearing another step toward a local rollout of the company’s AI features. The China-specific version is set to use Alibaba’s Qwen and Baidu AI to support localized services across iOS, iPadOS, macOS and visionOS. Apple had already secured Chinese regulatory approval for Apple Intelligence for iPhones, ending a process that had stretched for roughly two years. The latest report adds that the filing marks the first completion of China’s domestic generative AI registration for Apple Intelligence and broadens the expected rollout beyond iPhones to Apple’s wider software ecosystem. Investors are focused on whether AI features, including an upgraded Siri, can drive device upgrades, support hardware sales and strengthen Apple’s services position in China ahead of Apple’s July 30 earnings report.
