What iPhone models will have Apple Intelligence?

Apple intelligence right now in 2024 is only supported for iPhone 14 Pro models, iPhone 15 series and iPhone 16 series

That is not correct. iPhone 14 Pro models will NOT be be able to run Apple Intelligence. Per Apple directly, Apple Intelligence will become available on iPhone 15 Pro/15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 models. This also means that iPhone 15 and 15 Plus (not Pro models) will also not be able to run Apple Intelligence.

iPhone 14

The iPhone 14 is not on the list to get the Apple Intelligence beta. In a footnote on the Apple Intelligence Preview page, Apple says that

"Some … additional platforms … will be coming over the course of the next year." (emphasis mine)

Taking that into account, maybe the iPhone 14 will get some of the Apple Intelligence features, some time during the course of the year. Maybe it will never get any. Apple is being careful not to raise false hopes by making any promises.

Apple Intelligence Preview - Apple

Change phone every year? Oh, don’t spend 1000+ dollars on iPhones every year. If you want an iPhone running Apple Intelligence, you can get an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max before the next Apple releases this fall. That’s the oldest iPhone series option available for Apple intelligence.

6 core instead of 5 means the 5 core won't run same SW at all? Suuuuure. the app will just be 20-30 per cent slower.

Mac Jim ID mentioned the differences in the number of GPU cores. I think it more likely that the key difference is in the amount of RAM – which is only 6 GB for any of the iPhone 14-family phones, compared to 8 GB on iPhones that will be getting the Apple Intelligence beta.

Device restrictions are going to be tied to the available hardware. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max use the A17 processor with a 6 core GPU, where the standard iPhone 15 has the A16 processor with only a 5 core GPU. The newly announced AI features are going to need more processing power that is currently only available in the Pro and Max versions of the iPhone 15. The iPhone 14 also has only the 5 core GPU and the iPhone 13 has a 4 core GPU. There apparently is not enough computing power in those models.

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?

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.

Feedback - iPhone - Apple

i agree, it’s ridiculous how we have phone 2 years old and we can’t get basic features

Basic?

None of what Apple Intelligence does is basic.

You got all the basic features from the iOS 18 update already with the new UI elements.

Apple intelligence is pretty advanced and requires a lot of processing power. Hardly "basic". Offers no new UI, only new features within the existing UI that make use of 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.

1. Those models have 8GB of RAM.

2. Nobody on these boards can say.

It must be 8GB RAM for Apple Intelligence. iPhone 15 Pro is the first model that has it.

This seems like an excuse to garnish more phone sales.

Gasp.... a company trying to push sales of their wares... who would ever think of such an evil act?

ChatGPT can be accessed online.

Yes. Apple Intelligence is not reliant on it. It can use it if allowed for better answers, but it is not dependent on it.

Not to mention the iPhone 15 has been discontinued.

No. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max have been discontinued. The iPhone 15 and 15Plus are still being made and sold by Apple and still won't get Apple Intelligence.

Also, discontinuation has no bearing on what the device hardware can or cannot do or what features it has access to. It just means Apple is no longer manufacturing it or actively selling it.

It's still fully supported and will receive OS updates for the foreseeable future.

By "additional platforms" I think they mean other Apple devices like the Vision Pro, probably new HomePods and new Apple TVs, maybe Windows PCs even.

Would not expect them to bring it to other iPhone models not already listed as supported. Those would not be "additional platforms" Just the same platform with less resources.

If they do, it would be the first time Apple adds support for older devices after releasing it for newer ones, so not something I would expect or tell any one else to expect. If it happens, that is great, but honestly, it's a reach.

Currently AI is supported on the iOS 15 and 16 series.

I assume that you meant the iPhone –––– series. All of the iPhone-16-series models are scheduled to get it, but the only iPhone-15-series models on the list to get it are the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.

15pro 15promax and all 16 models

Correct!
