Apple has received a critical regulatory green light from China's Cyberspace Administration to deploy AI services within the country. This approval, coupled with a 24% year-over-year increase in iPhone sales in China, positions the company to capitalize on its 'Apple Intelligence' suite in its most important international market. Technologically, Apple is moving toward on-device AI by testing PrismML software. This approach aims to run advanced models locally on iPhones, which would significantly lower cloud computing expenses and improve user privacy, potentially disrupting the current cloud-heavy AI model.
