Why is the Apple Intelligence not included on my iPhone 16?

Just trade in my iPhone 12 Pro Max for the 16 expecting it to have all the features that were advertised with Apple Intelligence.

But instead I got a phone virtually the same as my 12 with a bit of a hardware upgrade.

Gee thanks for reposting an existing article. It’s been turned on since I’ve purchased it. Turned the device on/off. Hard reset. Check software, left it pre much a full day and half night on charge and connect to WiFi for the additional download. I have done troubleshooting with Apple support. The old Siri shows only still and no intelligence features

No need to be sarcastic. We are all users here on this user to user only forum and we try to help when we can. We don't know everything you've tried. We don't know if by chance you live in the EU and you haven't changed your language and Siri language to one which is supported. We don't know if by chance you own a phone manufactured for the China market, which if you check Settings > General > About > Model would have a model number ending in CH/A, which would mean you can't use Apple Intelligence until it is approved in China, regardless of where you live.

I reside in Ireland and, like many others, was enticed by the enticing promises made by Apple. I waited patiently, especially after reading in December that Apple AI would be launching, but nothing materialized. When I reached out to Apple support, they informed me that, yes, English language support had indeed been extended to Ireland. However, I couldn't help but wonder what advantages this brings to my iPhone that I didn't already have.

If you're in the Republic of Ireland, and therefore in the EU, you cannot, at this time, access Apple Intelligence. If you are in Northern Ireland, it should be available.


still no sign of APPLE AI. I will not be falling for this again.

Apple was clear from the beginning that it would only be available in some regions for the time being. However, it seems that lots of people weren't paying attention. Too excited, perhaps.


In April, many of the core features of Apple Intelligence will start to roll out to iPhone and iPad users in the EU.

what is it that you’re looking for when you’re typing a message or something highlight whatever text you want to highlight you have the option for text effects and you have the option to use writing tools. Now, if you’re trying to send an aggressive message, Apple Intelligence is not prepared to alter those messages just yet. However, if you ask Siri something, your phone should have the Apple Intelligence, Siri feature where the outline of your phone is lit up. Is this not the case in your event?

My Apple intelligence on my pro max 16 says it’s in Beta. I thought it was publicly released with ios18.2

It is publicly released, but everyone's says it's in Beta. Likely because it's not complete and more pieces of it will be rolled out over the next several months.

I have iPhone 16 and I turned on Apple Intelligence. I was only able to use some of the new features for example Siri, proofread of messages and clean up tool on photos. I am not able to use Jen emoji, I am not able to ask Siri questions based off photos, and I am not able to use the playground app where you can create different AI photos using photos you have how come I am only able to use and have certain features of this new update

You MUST have the device region set to THE SAME region as you have set Siri. I had my iPhone (and my MacBook Air) set to English US, but I had Siri set to a make a British voice (just for fun). Neither my MacBook nor my iPhone 16Pro offered AI.

My devices are set to the British male voice, but I had no trouble downloading Apple Intelligence. I don't believe that the selection of the Siri voice is relevant. I suspect that something else of which you are unaware changed at the same time.
