Apple Execs Explain Why Apple Intelligence Is Not Available On Older Devices And Assure It Is Not A Scheme To Sell New iPhones
iOS 18 brought a slew of new visual changes for all compatible iPhones, but the platform has placed a limitation on Apple Intelligence, as it is exclusively available on the iPhone 15 Pro models. Apple Intelligence requires raw power to operate on-device generative AI large language models for better performance, and the A17 Pro chip in the iPhone 15 Pro is the perfect candidate to handle such tasks. Besides the iPhone, Apple's new AI utilities are also restricted to iPads and Macs with at least an M1 chip. Apple executives have now come forward, detailing why Apple Intelligence is available on Apple Silicon powered iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
