However, both the Tencent and Apple teams have stated that they had not received any official notifications regarding this issue. Apple will launch its first AI-powered iPhone 16 series next week, and despite its rebuttals, this speculation could impact the new product’s sales. An Apple China district technical advisor said that whether iOS systems or Apple devices will continue to support WeChat depends on further communication between Apple and Tencent. Context: In June, Apple introduced Apple Intelligence at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2024. Huawei on Monday announced that its autumn product launch event will take place on Sep. 10, coinciding with Apple’s iPhone 16 series release.
