Apple teams up with Alibaba to bring AI features for iPhones in China, The Information reports

The development could clear months of uncertainty over Apple's AI strategy for China, where it has been losing market share to domestic rivals, including a resurgent Huawei whose smartphones have included AI tools since last year. Apple stock rose 1.5% in early trading, while U.S.-listed shares of Alibaba gained 2.6%. Apple had selected Baidu as its main partner last year, but the Chinese company's progress in developing models for Apple Intelligence fell short of its standards, the report said.
