TikTok might play a big role in bringing Apple Intelligence to China

Apple wants to bring its AI platform, Apple Intelligence, to China. However, using its own servers or its OpenAI partnership won't be enough. According to a report from Reuters, Apple is in talks with Tencent and TikTok owner ByteDance about using their AI models in iPhones sold in China.

This partnership would be similar to what Cupertino has been doing in the US. When Apple's own AI isn't enough, users can count on OpenAI's ChatGPT. However, in China, several overseas platforms are blocked in the country.
