Apple’s showcase of its AI features during WWDC 2024 was admittedly impressive, giving Apple fans (as well as us Android enthusiasts) a preview of what its new “Apple Intelligence” is capable of. With that being said however, the company made it clear that not all Apple devices will be receiving AI features, with these being limited to devices running on the company’s M-series and A17 Pro chips.
Speaking to Daring Fireball, Apple’s head for AI and machine learning John Giannandrea addressed the limitations, stating:
Craig Federighi, Apple’s chief for software engineering also added that hardware elements such as the A17 Pro chip and 8GB of RAM onboard the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max mean that Apple’s AI will be able to run better – by comparison, the base model iPhone 15 comes with 2022’s A16 Bionic chipset, in addition to slightly lesser 6GB of RAM.
