Apple’s new Chinese plan: Partnering with Alibaba

American Apple and Chinese Alibaba are preparing for a partnership in artificial intelligence. Apple is planning to provide artificial intelligence applications to iPhone users in China through Alibaba. Wanting to regain the market it lost in China, Apple is getting ready for a partnership with Alibaba. Instead of partnering with DeepSeek to offer artificial intelligence features in China, Apple will collaborate with Alibaba. The main factor in choosing Alibaba is reported to be the vastness of the company’s personal data. Apple CEO Tim Cook had linked the 11% recent drop in iPhone sales in China to the lack of artificial intelligence applications. Following the news, Alibaba shares gained 10%.
