Apple Intelligence is still inaccessible for devices purchased in mainland China, affecting both local buyers and those visiting from abroad. Despite the global rollout of iOS 18.4, users in China cannot utilize the AI feature, a situation reminiscent of earlier restrictions in the EU. Only devices bought from Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Macau can access Apple Intelligence if supported. Users who bought their devices outside China but reside in the mainland face similar restrictions, unable to use the feature even while traveling. The situation raises questions about regional regulations impacting technology availability.
