Apple Intelligence Region Issue

Apple Intelligence worked while I was in China on business (via VPN). Am now back in the States and it says not supported in my region. 16 MaxPro, my account is a US account on US phone service. Also have a China sim in the phone.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

Where did you purchase your iPhone? iPhones intended for sale in China do not have Apple Intelligence currently, doesn’t matter the region you have set.


If this is an iPhone intended for sale in US or another region that supports Apple Intelligence, try deleting your VPN.

But will phone models intended for sale in china eventually get apple intelligence?

Got mine while on a business trip in china.

I do not even see the option for apple intelligence and Siri in settings

The country has strict AI regulations. We do not know when iPhones intended for sale in China will receive Apple Intelligence, the answer isn’t no though, and Apple is working to support more countries.
