Apple Intelligence brings incredible new features across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

The first set of features is now available, with many more rolling out in the coming months.

⏺ Overview

⏺ Compatible Devices

⏺ iOS 18

⏺ iPadOS 18

⏺ macOS Sequoia

Why is the Apple Intelligence not included on my iPhone 16?

Just trade in my iPhone 12 Pro Max for the 16 expecting it to have all the features that were advertised with Apple Intelligence.

But instead I got a phone virtually the same as my 12 with a bit of a hardware upgrade.

So I’m with Rogers, I’ve got the IPhone 16 pro max. I think I heard the AI will be released near the end of October ? Is that correct ??

Thanks

I am a little disappointed in the iPhone 16 plus and Siri’s alleged apple intelligence ? When will it be available, I have updated to the latest iOS , joined the waiting list and now it says preparing ? It’s been preparing for a week now ? The phone feels no different than my old iPhone 12.

It shouldn't take a week to prepare Apple Intelligence. I'd reach out to Apple as you can't be disappointed with features you still don't have. If you're in the US, call Apple at: 800-MY-APPLE

Every commercial on TV is broadcasting the 16 model with Apple Intelligence. I understand Apple is not advertising it on their website that it’s available yet but people don’t necessarily buy their phones by reading the fine print on the Apple website. They are buying their phones through social media and television commercials that are promoting the phone with this feature and it is not available yet so it’s frustrating.

You have just a few more days and your frustration will likely be removed. It's been widely reported Apple Intelligence is coming in just a few days, which will make this entire discussion and the horror people have seemingly had to endure over.

Where did you purchase your phone and from whom did you purchase the phone?


Do you live in the EU or China, Hong Kong or Macau?


Was your phone manufactured for China (Open Settings > General > About > Model and if it ends in CH/A, it was manufactured for China and won't have Apple Intelligence anywhere in the world, until it is approved to be used in China).


Is your language and Siri Language set to US English?
