Apple’s New AI Features Will Only Work on These IPhone Models.
Today’s Apple WWDC 26 presentation focused heavily on how Apple is using artificial intelligence (AI) to upgrade existing devices. Unfortunately, many iPhones weren’t included in the list of devices that will receive the upcoming Siri AI feature , which focuses primarily on privacy and user interaction . However, if you already own a modern iPhone, starting this fall, you’ll be able to enjoy some very cool new AI features. Here’s a list of iPhones that have received AI upgrades.
Which iPhone models get Apple’s smart features?
While all iPhone models listed below will receive the new Apple Intelligence update, some features will work better on the “most powerful models,” which likely refers to the iPhone 17 family.
It’s important to note that while Apple will release iOS 27 support for iPhone 11 and newer models, Apple Intelligence will still only be available on newer devices.
What’s new in Apple Intelligence?
The new Siri AI improves the experience for apps like Safari, Messages, Photos, Calendar, and Phone. It features a dedicated Siri app, expanded conversational capabilities, improved contextual orientation, and the ability to understand follow-up questions and what’s displayed on your iPhone screen. Siri can also perform actions across apps and interact with your personal content, such as photos, files, calendar, and email. The new Siri isn’t simply catching up with competitors like Gemini, but doing so in typical Apple fashion, prioritizing your privacy and ease of use. You can read more about the features here .
