Is semafor a reliable site? This is the first time I've ever seen it.

Not sure, but mainstream media is also reporting it: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/13/apple-will-integrate-alibabas-ai-into-iphones-in-china-chairman-joe-tsai-says.html

For headline readers: for iPhones sold in China.

Yeah except the first one is a bit misleading. The CNBC one actually makes sense because it's just phones in China.

Seems like a pretty important detail for Semafor to leave out, to create a little extra outrage.

in China, for Chinese users. Chinese users want to access Chinese apps and services. Makes sense.

Apple, now with 100% more trash!

What's that bring the total to, like 11,500%?
