Apple is reportedly negotiating with China's ByteDance and Tencent to bring their artificial intelligence models to iPhones sold in China.
Apple began integrating OpenAI's ChatGPT into its devices globally but it is not accessible in China due to regulatory restrictions.
ByteDance and Tencent have developed their own AI models - Doubao and Hunyuan respectively - which could potentially be integrated into Chinese iPhones.
Apple's partnership with ByteDance or Tencent could be significant as the company faces increasing competition in China's smartphone market.
