Apple has published a list of the Apple Intelligence features that will reach iPhone users in China with iOS 27.3, according to MacRumors, which spotted the details on Apple's Chinese website. Apple has said the first iOS 27.3 beta will arrive next week, and the finished update is due in December.
What is coming
The page lists seven features: Writing Tools, Genmoji, Clean Up, Notification Summaries, Priority Notifications, Visual Intelligence and Live Translation with AirPods. Together they cover text rewriting, custom emoji, photo editing, notification handling, camera-based lookups and real-time translation through compatible earbuds.
What is left out
Two features do not appear on the list: the AI-powered version of Siri and Image Playground. Apple's page does not say whether either will arrive later, and the report names no timeline for them.
Which devices
According to the report, the features will work only on iPhone 15 Pro and newer models for now. Apple's page indicates that availability on iPad, Mac and other devices depends on Apple first obtaining approval to launch them in China, so those products are not covered by this initial rollout.
Why it matters
Apple Intelligence has been missing from the Chinese market since the technology debuted, and the company has needed regulatory clearance to offer such tools there. The new page is the clearest sign yet of which pieces Apple expects to ship first. The MacRumors report does not name any partners for the China launch, and Apple has not provided additional comment beyond what is on its website.
Timing
The iOS 27.3 beta schedule matches earlier reporting that the update would arrive in mid-December. Until the beta appears, the exact feature set and any changes to the list remain subject to what Apple actually ships. Readers in China should treat the list as Apple's current plan rather than a final guarantee.
