Apple Apparently in talks with companies Bytedance (Bytedance) and Tencent (Tencent) than the models artificial intelligence Add them to iPhones sold in China.
Since the beginning of December, Apple released the new version of its operating system, such as iOS 18.2, and made the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT from OpenAI available to its users.

iPhone artificial intelligence models in China
ByteDance and Tencent have developed their own AI models (Doubao and Hunyuan, respectively) that will likely be available on iPhones sold in China if the deal between Apple and them is successful.
However, Reuters sources have stated that their negotiations are still in their early stages. Also, earlier this year, Apple had made a similar negotiation with Baidu to provide artificial intelligence capabilities on iPhones in the Chinese market.
Given that Apple is already facing a lot of pressure from its competitors in the Chinese market, any cooperation in the field of providing artificial intelligence capabilities can be very important for it. The company briefly dropped out of China’s top five mobile phone vendors in the second quarter of 2023.
At the same time, Huawei has grown widely in the Chinese market and its sales increased by 42% in the third quarter of the year. The company’s Mate 70 series, which was introduced earlier this month, supports artificial intelligence to perform tasks such as image generation, video editing, and more.
