It’s very very strange that the oldest iPhone compatible with Apple Intelligence is the iPhone 15 Pro, but maybe because it has the oldest processor that can do a lot of work, the A17 Pro. Only iPads and Macs with M processors can have Apple Intelligence, such as the iPad Pro M4, M1 chip MacBooks, etc. Even though newly announced Apple software versions like iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS sequoia, etc are compatible with other devices, like iPad (9th generation), iPhone XS Max, etc


Every iPhone, iPad, and Mac that has an Apple Silicon processor and 8+ GB of RAM is scheduled to get the Apple Intelligence beta. Here I use "Apple Silicon" loosely to include both A-series chips and M-series chips, since both have the same basic machine code architecture, and Apple got M-series chips by scaling up A-series designs.


No Mac that lacks an Apple Silicon processor is scheduled to get the Apple Intelligence beta. Apple Silicon Macs only. 68K, PowerPC, and Intel Macs need not apply.


No iPhone, iPad, or Mac that has less than 8 GB of RAM is scheduled to get the Apple Intelligence beta. All Apple devices with M-series chips have at least 8 GB of RAM. But among those with A-series chips, only iPhone 15 Pros and iPad 15 Pro Maxes have 8 GB of RAM. Every other iPhone or iPad with an A-series chip has less.


The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max stand out because, for devices with A-series chips, they have an unusually large amount of RAM. As much as a base M3 MacBook Air, M3 iMac, or M2 Mac mini.

i agree, it’s ridiculous how we have phone 2 years old and we can’t get basic features, i get stuff like clean up takes a lot of processing so it’s fair, but is it hard to get a new ui?? or context clues 🙏 it’s really not difficult it’s just apple being greedy


An iPhone released in late 2022 would be a Phone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, or 14 Max. All of those iPhones can run iOS 18.


For that matter, Apple is making iOS 18 available for the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR – phones released in late 2018 that were running iOS 12 at that time.


You seem to be complaining because you're not in line to get some advanced features.

This app is currently only compatible with iPhone 15 and iPhone 16. However, it should work on iPads with an M-series chip or Apple Silicon a18 chip. 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 intelligence was used within the sentences.

The iPhone is Apple's flagship device. And yes, it manufacturers it as well as sells it. The iPhone is Apple's most important device.The one that produces the most revenue out of its entire portfolio. More important and with more sales than their iPads and Macs. As such it is their flagship device.

That is nonsensical.


The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are the current flagship devices in the iPhone line, just as the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max were the flagship devices before the 16 series phones came out. MacBook Pros with M3 Max chips are the flagship devices in Apple's notebook line. iPad Pros with the M4 chip are the flagship devices in Apple's tablet line.


See the second definition of flagship here: Merriam-Webster Dictionary – flagship (noun)


they are essentially the same device, with the exception of varying hardware specifications.

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?

Read the thread. It's been answered. A link to ChatGBT is not the same as what Siri will be with the thinking directly on your phone. It's that simple.
