What iPhone models will have Apple Intelligence?

I think the reason being is because it’s a older model phone

Apple hasn't told us the specific criteria that they used to determine compatibility for the initial Apple Intelligence beta. Still, it is once again worth noting that

• All of the devices – Macs, iPads, or iPhones – that are scheduled to get the Apple Intelligence beta have Apple Silicon chips (A-series or M-series) with Neural Engines, and at least 8 GB of RAM.
• Every iPhone with 8 GB of RAM is on the list to get the Apple Intelligence beta. These phones are the iPhone 15, 15 Pro Max, 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max.
• No iPhone with less than 8 GB of RAM is on the list to get the beta. Apple says that they might bring some of the Apple Intelligence features to some of these phones over the course of the next year. No promises. My guess is that even Apple themselves do not know how things will play out yet. Getting this thing out the door for all of the devices that meet the base hardware requirements has got to be much more important – from a business standpoint – than shoehorning it onto older devices whose hardware resources are marginal.

I didn't realize we couldn't talk about that here but I'm glad since you know the details you know there is a list.

Katana-San is absolutely correct and if it seems new to you, then it may be important to review the agreement for using the beta to avoid any future problems:

Yes, the beta software is Apple confidential information. Don’t install the beta software on any systems you don’t directly control or that you share with others. Don’t blog, post screenshots, tweet, or publicly post information about the beta software, and don’t discuss the beta software with or demonstrate it to others who are not in the Apple Beta Software Program. If Apple has publicly disclosed technical information about the beta software, it is no longer considered confidential.

Apple Beta — FAQ

Nothing in the release version of iOS requires a waitlist and you will know when technical information has been released because you will see the corresponding Support Article that also includes the link to Contact Apple Support, which currently is not available with the beta software.

you should add Apple Intelligence to iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14

The iPhone 14 Pro Max does not have the A17 Pro chip and also only a 5 core GPU compared to the 6 core GPU on the iPhone 15 Pro/Max. I would suspect these pages would then be filled with these complaints:

• iOS 18 slowed down my phone
• Apple is deliberating slowing down my phone

It is true that it is difficult to make everyone happy and software always outpaces hardware. There is always going to be a new iPhone that is better right around the corner.

Of course, you can always send feedback to let Apple know how you feel.

the phone has most of what iPhone 15 pro max has minus just 3 features.

Those features are "just" the most important parts when it comes to performance. It's kind of like saying my Honda Fit has everything a Ferrari has except for the smaller, less powerful engine so why can't it go 218 miles an hour?

That is so true!!! It's just a new version of the Siri, and how can iphone 13 not be capable of it!..!!!? And the rest, it is just AI!!! Why is iphone 13 not be capable of Apple intelligence???

It's already been explained. Apple Intelligence will use a LOT of RAM. RAM which an iPhone 15 or lower does NOT have. It will require an iPhone with at least 8GB of RAM. It's not as simple as just an expanded Siri. In fact, far from it. And from my research, just the AI portion when released will take up 4GB of memory on any iPhone capable of using it.

So now you know why iPhone 13 is NOT capable.

I 100% agree with this, I have a 14 Pro Max, there’s not that much of a difference from 14 to 15 so why should I pay more when I already have my phone? Why should I pay more for a couple features that could be added to my own phone? Please read this apple and actually consider

Apple isn't here and they won't see your request. This is a user to user ONLY forum, which Apple doesn't participate, nor monitor for feedback. It isn't likely your request could be honored, even if they did see it. Apple Intelligence 100% requires an iPhone with 8GB of RAM, which your 14 Pro Max doesn't have. Thus, it isn't capable of running AI and why you won't get it.

On my 14 Pro Max, the AI popped up to redo my sentence,

Unless you are running an early iOS Beta with Apple Intelligence, it could not have popped up at all.

If you are running a beta, then we cannot discuss it here.

Apple Intelligence has not yet been publicly released for any device.

Why can't Apple do this and victimize models like 14 pro max 13 pro max when Samsung offers cloud artificial intelligence technology even to its old devices?

Either you had a bad autocorrect accident or victimize doesn't mean what you think it does.

You really need to read this thread so you have a better understanding. Apple is more concerned about privacy and safety of your information, so it is doing on-device processing and keeping your information on your device where it belongs. Where it uses outside servers, it has developed Private Compute.

The iPhone 14 or 13 can still use the ChatGPT web interface just like you can on Samsung devices, but what Apple is doing now is not done on any Samsung device.

Sorry , which board I can ask ?

Look for a discussion board that focuses on rumor and speculation. This one is not it.

Nope. Only devices with Apple Intelligence will get the new UI.

Where on earth did you get that piece of misinformation?

I agree! I have an IPhone 14 Pro Max and I would LOVE to have these features on my phone, please see this Apple and consider 😭🙏🥺

Any, just not Apple Community discussion forums. It’s against Apple’s policy to promote rumors or speculate on future products or services. But the obvious has been stated, larger amount of memory, faster processors and more advanced graphics.

this is not a rational reason, chargpt can run on a website on every device, dose 1 extra core existed in iPhone 15 really matters? or it is just an excuse?

ChatGPT is a web-based service. It can't do what Apple Intelligence will do. But, if you like ChatGPT, nothing stops you from continuing to use it.
