Beijing, February 3, 2025 – Apple is exploring a partnership with DeepSeek, a Chinese AI firm, to bring Apple Intelligence to China while complying with local regulations. DeepSeek’s cost-effective AI technology could help Apple integrate AI features into iPhones, competing with Huawei and Xiaomi, which have already adopted AI innovations.
With Apple losing market share in China due to the absence of AI-driven features, investors see this partnership as a potential boost for iPhone demand. However, Apple has not confirmed any official deal, and regulatory challenges remain a key concern.
