If you’ve recently purchased an international version of the iPhone 16 Pro in Saudi Arabia, but the seller provided a model from China without Apple Intelligence features, you might be wondering whether you’ll be able to use those features outside of China.
Here’s what you need to know:
Apple Intelligence features are often region-specific and may not be available immediately on all models. In your case, since the device was originally from China, it might not have these features enabled right away in other regions like the Middle East. However, once Apple releases the software updates or features for Chinese models in other regions, there’s a good chance they will become available through official updates.
The key to gaining access later is ensuring your iPhone is kept updated with the latest software updates from Apple. Usually, these updates bring new features and fix regional restrictions. Once Apple makes the features available for Chinese models in your region, you should be able to access them without needing to buy a new device.
To maximize your chances, regularly check for software updates by going to Settings > General > Software Update. If Apple officially releases Apple Intelligence features for Chinese models outside China, you’ll likely see the update and be able to enable the features on your device.
In summary, while you might not have immediate access to Apple Intelligence features, they may become available through software updates once Apple extends support to Chinese models in your area. Just stay updated with the latest iOS releases, and you’ll be set to use these features when they arrive.
