Extended read
Apple's approval from the Cyberspace Administration of China is a critical win, allowing it to deploy its AI stack in its most important growth market. By using PrismML for on-device processing, Apple can maintain its privacy-first stance while avoiding the high latency and cost of local cloud providers. This positioning strengthens the case for a massive iPhone upgrade cycle starting in late 2026.
