Why are Apple Intelligence features not working on my German iPhone 16 Pro?

Hi,


So i bought an Apple Iphone 16 pro in December mainly because of the apple intelligence features but I still don't have them yet. I don't know why, but maybe I am just being stupid... I have my region device language and siri all set to german/y. And I have even tried to factory reset the settings but it still doesn't work.

The model number in your screen shot indicates you have a model meant for the Chinese market (MYLP3CH/A). Chinese market iPhones do not support Apple Intelligence at this time.

For China residents 

Apple Intelligence will not currently work for supported devices purchased in China mainland. For supported devices purchased outside of China mainland, Apple Intelligence will not currently work if you are in China mainland and if your Apple Account Country/Region is also in China mainland.

When Apple Intelligence is available in China mainland, previously purchased devices that support Apple Intelligence will be able to activate and use it in that region.
