Unfortunately, Apple Intelligence isn’t available for all devices that support iOS/iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia. But does your iPhone, iPad, or Mac make it to Apple’s list of compatible devices? Let’s find out below.
iPhones That Support Apple Intelligence
Apple severely limits the iPhone models that support the variousApple Intelligence features announced at WWDC 2024. Unfortunately, you need an iPhone with at least the A17 Pro chip or newer to use Apple Intelligence. Here are the only models that are eligible as of August 2024:
Even the standard iPhone 15 models don’t support Apple Intelligence since they pack the older A16 Bionic chip from the iPhone 14 Pro models.
iPads That Support Apple Intelligence
Unlike iPhones, you don’t need the latest and greatest iPads to use Apple Intelligence when Apple rolls it out in fall 2024. All you need is an iPad with the M1 chip or newer, and you’re good to go. Here’s the complete list:
As you can see, if you bought a high-end iPad in the last three years, you don’t have to worry about Apple Intelligence support.
Macs That Support Apple Intelligence
Like iPads, Apple limits Apple Intelligence to Mac models powered byApple silicon chips(M1 and newer). If you’re unsure, you’re able to quicklycheck if your Mac has an Intel or Apple silicon chip. Either way, here are all the supported Macs:
Even though Apple began its transition to Apple silicon chips in 2020, I’m quite surprised that even a 2020 Mac is fully capable of running Apple Intelligence, but an iPhone from 2023 can’t do the same.
If your Apple devices made the above list, know that you don’t have to wait for Apple to roll out Apple Intelligence to the general public in fall 2024. You cantry Apple Intelligence right nowby installing the iOS/iPadOS 18.1 or macOS Sequoia 15.1 beta.
However, note that not all Apple Intelligence features are available, and since these software builds are in their early experimental stages, you may encounter bugs and other issues more often than you’d like.
