California (Web Desk): Technology company Apple has announced that the first developer beta of iOS 27.3 will be released next week, allowing iPhone users in China to access several Apple Intelligence features.
According to a press release published on Apple’s China newsroom website, the new beta version will become available on Wednesday, November 4. However, due to the time difference with the United States, it is expected to be released there on November 3.
The company said the final version of iOS 27.3 will be rolled out to all users in December, although no specific release date has been announced.
Under the new update, several Apple Intelligence features will be activated in China on the iPhone 15 Pro and later models. These include Writing Tools, Genmoji, Clean Up, notification summaries, priority notifications, Visual Intelligence and live translation through AirPods.
However, Apple has clarified that the update will not bring new AI-powered Siri features to users in China or other Apple Intelligence capabilities introduced at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2026.
In addition, the Image Playground feature will also remain unavailable in China.
