Apple Intelligence China Beta Version Accidentally Launched Then Quickly Taken Down

In the early hours of today, Apple Intelligence China Beta version began rolling out in batches, requiring iOS26.4 or above. For users who received the update, the original Siri settings were replaced with "Apple Intelligence & Siri", and a 9.5GB intelligent model could be downloaded.

This version supports a new Siri interface, offering real-time translation, visual intelligence, photo removal and other functions. However, some functions failed to activate, and GPT extension was unavailable. The camera button on activated iPhone16 and later models could bring up visual recognition AI.

According to Bloomberg, the launch was accidental, Apple has no immediate release plan and has taken it down.
