What iPhone models will have Apple Intelligence?

I don’t see why my iPhone 14 Pro Max with 1 TB storage can’t run at least some parts of Apple intelligence like:

1- Mail auto categorisation

2- The typing feature that helps rewrite paragraphs ( chat GPT app does it already on the 14 pro max )

3- Messages auto categorisation

4- new Siri UI

5- smarter Siri (context understanding)

the rest I get it, wanna make it exclusive to the newer phones and all.

but this is unfair. And I’m actually thinking seriously to move away from Apple due to those below the belt moves.

i paid 750 omani rials for my phone in 2022,

you telling me i gotta pay this again now? Come on!

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

i hope Apple will do something to bridge this disconnect with 14 pro and pro max users and older.

That's what's on my mind.

Threats don't work here. You do what you need to do. We have no investment in your choice of device manufacturer.

FYI, Android is worse at this in most cases.

I have an iPhone 14 (base model) and i’m able to run chat gpt 4o, even 4o1 (since i pay for it) and it’s faster than my computer (completely optimized), so i don’t understand how the cores are the issue

ChatGPT doesn't run on your phone. It's using the computing resources of some server on the Internet. Apple Intelligence will run locally on your phone, in many cases.

We do know that the iPhones which are in line to get the Apple Intelligence beta have different processors, and more RAM, than the iPhones which are not in line to get it. Some people think that the number of cores may be important, but my guess is that the big issue is RAM.

Well, that’s stange.. ChatGPT runs perfectly on my 14 pro max. So this excuse is invalid.

You are making a mistake in believing ChatGPT is Apple Intelligence. They are not the same. You can access ChatGPT in a web browser if you want and not use any resources on your device. That has nothing to do with the requirements for Apple Intelligence.

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

The iPhone 14 Pro Max has an A16 Bionic processor and 6 GB of RAM.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max has an A17 Pro processor and 8 GB of RAM.

Even if it turns out that the difference in processor speed is not significant, the amount of RAM is likely to be very significant when it comes to running AI models locally on the phone. Maybe Apple can get some features running on phones with only 6 GB of RAM, and maybe not. They're not making any firm commitments – and I suspect that is on purpose.

Hello again ~ Your post came across as argumentative and dismissive of what I know for a fact…this in particular “but I'm glad since you know the details you know there is a list” It means a great deal to me that in this forum we can politely discuss and even disagree. On that note perhaps we both just misunderstood each other. Take care.

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.

They are not. The iPhone 14 received the update to iOS 18, and will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future with software updates.

It simply lacks the resources to properly run the very demanding Apple Intelligence processes. But is in no way considered a dinosaur.

Apple intelligence is just for the iPhone 15 and 16, but ChatGPT works everywhere!

ChatGPT runs on servers, in "the cloud". A lot of the Apple Intelligence features run locally, on your iPhone. Or – as Apple puts it,

Apple Intelligence Preview - Apple

"Draws on your personal context without allowing anyone else to access your personal data — not even Apple."

Now I don't know that all of the Apple Intelligence features rely strictly on local processing on the phone, but I am betting that enough of them do that you need computing resources on the phone to handle them.

Now when, that iOS 18 has been released

The first version of iOS 18 does not include Apple Intelligence. That apparently is taking a bit longer to get ready than the rest of iOS 18.

Apple Intelligence Preview - Apple

"Apple Intelligence will be available in beta on all iPhone 16 models, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad and Mac with M1 and later, with Siri and device language set to U.S. English, as part of an iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia update this fall."

My iPad supports it. If you see a rainbow outline at the edge of the screen, it means that intelligent models have been installed. To install them, just follow the on-screen instructions.

Apple has not released iOS, iPadOS, and macOS updates containing the Apple Intelligence beta. Therefore, if you have Apple Intelligence on your iPad, you must be running some sort of development or test version, one which is even more "beta" than the promised beta.

The list of iPhones, iPads, and Macs that will get the Apple Intelligence beta – when it comes out – can be found at the end of this page: Apple Intelligence Preview - Apple . Note that recently Apple has made the footnotes a little bit more detailed, adding a note about when English (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, UK) language support will become available.

Like, I understand apple intelligence can not be on any iPhone, but why can’t just the new Siri ui be on any? And if ChatGPT works on iPhone 11, and Siri ChatGPT integration doesn’t, then what did apple really do?

It's called Security. ChatGPT processes all information on their servers and you are simply sending a request to a web interface and receiving a response. Apple is not comfortable with trusting a third party with your information and you should not either. Apple Intelligence uses on-device processing to protect your data and when accessing third party companies such as ChatGPT uses a process called Private Cloud Compute.

https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/

This on-device processing to protect your data requires resources not found in devices prior to the iPhone 15 Pro, such as 8GB of RAM instead of 6GB and 6 GPU cores instead of 5, along with the faster A series processor found in those and newer devices.

You can continue to use the web based ChatGPT, but you are trusting them with your information that you provide. For Apple to implement an Artificial Intelligence service, that is not acceptable.

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.

and why won’t iphone 15 plus get apple intelligence even though it’s from the same generation as the iPhone 15 pro and pro max , it’s must be fair because it is from the same generation

The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus did not get to have all of the features of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max just "because [they are] from the same generation."

For instance, the 15 and 15 Plus did not get

• Titanium cases
• Always-on displays
• USB 3 transfer speeds on their USB-C ports
• The third (Telephoto) camera

What seems most pertinent with respect to Apple Intelligence is that the 15 and 15 Plus got an A16 Bionic chip, and 6 GB of RAM; while the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max got an A17 Pro chip, and 8 GB of RAM.

All of the platforms that are scheduled to get the Apple Intelligence beta when it first comes out have 8 GB, or more, of RAM. All of them. Which strongly suggests that the fact that the 15 and 15 Plus only have 6 GB of it might have something to do with why they are not on the list.
