These iPhone Models Will Potentially Not Get iOS 18’s Major AI Features

Apple has gradually expanded its custom silicon to its entire Mac lineup, and the iPhone has mostly been the first device to boast new chip technology. The company has been developing 3nm chips for the iPhone and Mac for almost a year, and the competition seems to be just embarking on the technology, including Google and Samsung. Google will finally embrace TSMC for its Tensor G5 chips in 2025, which could mark the company's first silicon to be based on the supplier's 3nm process.

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.

Samsung Galaxy S25 series is months away from launch, but leaks surrounding the devices have been growing rapidly. Over the months, we have gathered immense information about the devices, giving us an idea about what Samsung may have planned for the next generation of S-series smartphones. Now, a new leak has been circulating that showcases the camera specs of the Vanilla Galaxy S25 series. It may come as a surprise to many, but Samsung may not include any major upgrades in cameras. 

Apple's iOS 18 announcement gave us more than we asked for, and the company's approach toward the end-user has changed over the past few years. The company has set a limitation for its high-end Apple Intelligence features, requiring an iPhone 15 Pro that features an A17 Pro chip with a faster Neural Engine than its predecessors. Now that iOS 18 is out and about as a developer beta, it has been discovered that the Neural Engine in the iPhone 15 Pro Max is 25 percent faster than before.

The Apple WWDC 2024 keynote finally concluded with some of the revolutionary announcements in the space of artificial intelligence (AI). The company finally announced advanced AI features across several devices and iOS apps, making them smarter. However, last year's iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will not be receiving the upcoming Apple intelligence features due to hardware constraints. Experts suggest one particular reason which makes these devices incompatible with AI features, check details.   

At its WWDC event, Apple announced its next big update for the iPhone, which is deeply integrated with the company's new AI features. The company announced on stage that Apple Intelligence requires at least an iPhone 15 Pro or models that will launch in the future, making iPhone 15 and older models a bit redundant in comparison.

Apple has lifted the curtain on its latest iOS operating system  iOS 18, during the WWDC 2024 developer conference. According to the tech giant, iOS 18 packs a punch with a slew of new features, boasting enhanced customization and functionality.

Apple is all set to host its big WWDC event later today to announce one of its biggest updates that will change the iPhone forever. Today marks a special day for Apple as it officially steps into the AI game and introduces iOS 18 to the world for all compatible iPhone models. Soon after the event, the company will also be releasing iOS 18 beta to developers for testing and bug creation purposes, which means that the final release will take place later this year. However, there are certain prerequisites that you have to follow to prepare your iPhone for the iOS 18 developer beta.

Apple has taken a long time to join the AI bandwagon, and while it lags behind the competition at this stage, iOS 18 could make it a market leader if the company plays its cards right. We would not say that Apple was reluctant to explore AI, but a new report suggests that the company stepped into the category after Craig Federighi tested GitHub Copilot and changed the company's attitude towards the technology.

Generative AI technology has taken the world by storm, and Apple is possibly the only smartphone company that is taking the time to introduce its rendition. The company is far behind in the field as it is asking for help from OpenAI and Google to implement their products in iOS 18 and other updates. A new report sheds light on Apple's forthcoming AI chatbot and how users can opt-in to use the service, but the reason behind the approach might not be user consent.

HoYoverse, the studio behind the wildly successful gacha game, Genshin Impact, have announced a release date for its next title, Zenless Zone Zero.

The Last of Us Part II will follow its predecessor onto PC, according to a new report - but despite development on the PC port supposedly being completed months ago, we might be waiting until 2025 for a release date.
