Maybe. Apple ditched them in China, because their infra can't handle large scale users.

Don't think the decision is based on infra, or any technical reasons. It's more on the service support side. How a 200-person company supports 44M iPhone users in China?

Is that true? I thought Apple was going to use their own infrastructure.

deepseek doesn't have any experience on support a 50 million user base. that was the reason cited by apple a few weeks ago.
