Open-source project reportedly enables Apple Intelligence on China-market iPhones
Overview
Guizang, a user on X, says he used a project built with Codex to enable full Apple Intelligence on his mainland China iPhone Air.
He says the Apple Account and App Store account must both be US accounts, and the system and Siri languages must be English or another language Apple Intelligence supports. Enabling it downloads a local model of about 10GB.
The report is a single social media post. It does not include independent testing or any response from Apple.
