Apple is all set to roll out the first set of Apple Intelligence features with iOS 18.1 update. While several features are already available in public and developer beta, this will be the first time when Apple Intelligence will be released for devices running on stable software. If you own the last-gen iPhone and thinking about whether Apple Intelligence will work on iPhone 15, here is your answer.
Will Apple Intelligence Work on iPhone 15?
Sadly, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will not get Apple Intelligence features. However, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are on the list of Apple Intelligence-supported devices. Moreover, the recently released iPhone 16 series will also get all Apple Intelligence features. This might be disheartening to read that the iPhone 15 will not get Apple Intelligence features, but there’s a reason for that.
Will iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max Get Apple Intelligence?
Yes, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will get all Apple Intelligence features as detailed by Apple during its WWDC 2024 and Glowtime events. Currently, only the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPhone 16 series are iPhones that are compatible with Apple Intelligence. You can check out the complete list of Apple Intelligence supported devices here.
Why Will iPhone 15 Not Get Apple Intelligence Features?
Apple has said that Apple Intelligence requires a minimum of 8GB RAM to function, owing to on-device processing required in some tasks. Also, older A-series chipsets are not compatible with Apple Intelligence, therefore iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus with A17 chipsets will not get Apple Intelligence features. If you are planning to upgrade to the new iPhone for AI features, here’s why getting an iPhone 16 for Apple Intelligence doesn’t make sense as of now.
