Apple is to face "strengthened supervision" from China's consumer watchdogs, according to Chinese state media.
The State Administration for Industry and Commerce SAIC asked trading standards bodies across the country to step up "contract supervision" on the US computer giant.
The move comes as Apple faces a barrage of negative publicity and court cases in China.
"Local governments are required to ... investigate and punish illegal activities in accordance with the law," the paper quoted the SAIC as saying in an official note.
A spokesman for SAIC who declined to be named confirmed the existence of the document but declined to disclose details, the AFP news agency said.
However, users of China's Twitter-like weibos have been split, with some backing Apple and saying state-owned Chinese firms deserved more criticism for poor service.
