Apple's WWDC 26 event today was heavily focused on how Apple is using AI, or Apple Intelligence, to upgrade its existing devices. Unfortunately, many iPhones didn't make the cut to get the upcoming Siri AI, which will be mainly focused on your privacy and working with you. However, if you already have a recent iPhone, starting this fall, you'll be enjoying some very cool new AI features on your iPhone. Here is the list of iPhones that made the cut for the AI upgrades.
Which iPhones Get Apple Intelligence?
While all of the iPhones below will get the new Apple Intelligence update, some features will work better on the "most powerful models," which likely points to the iPhone 17 family.
An important thing to note is that while Apple will roll out iOS 27 support for the iPhone 11 and newer, Apple Intelligence remains limited to the newer hardware.
What do you think so far?
What is new with Apple Intelligence?
The new Siri AI brings upgrades to apps like Safari, Messages, Photos, Calendar, and Phone. There will be a standalone Siri app, more conversational interactions, better context awareness, an understanding of follow-up questions as well as what is on your iPhone's screen. It can also take actions across apps and can work with your personal content like your photos, files, calendar, and emails. This new Siri not just catches up to the competition like Gemini, but it does it in a very Apple way, keeping your privacy at the forefront and keeping things simple.
