Apple's intelligence in iPhone 16 CH models

hello

I live outside ‌ of China and I bought iPhone 16 (model MYEV3CH/A) yesterday.

I am concerned that because of the CH model, which means it was ordered in China, Apple's intelligence

won't activate at all, such as the FaceTime audio. Can you help me and show me how to use Apple AI?

Is there any way that since I don't live in China I can use it properly?

iPhone 16, iOS 18

You can't. As for it being available sometime in 2025, I wouldn't hold your breath for that.

There are other restrictions on the device as well, including no FaceTime audio.
