Apple Intelligence is still inaccessible for devices purchased in mainland China, affecting both local buyers and temporary visitors. Despite the global rollout of iOS 18.4 allowing access in Europe, mainland China remains excluded due to regulatory issues. Users who bought iPhones abroad but live in China also cannot utilize Apple Intelligence. Access to the feature will be restored once they leave China, similar to restrictions on social media platforms. Only devices from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau can access the technology if compatible. The situation highlights ongoing challenges for Apple in meeting local regulations.
