Because Apple Intelligence requires a phone with 8GB of RAM, which no phones except iPhone 15 Pro/15 Pro Max and all iPhone 16 models have. Your phone doesn't have the RAM, thus it simply cannot support Apple Intelligence. If you want an iPhone with Apple Intelligence, Apple will take your phone in trade or you can sell it privately and use the trade or sale money towards an iPhone which has the processing power to run Apple Intelligence.


Your phone does everything today, it did when it was new. Apple never suggested older models would get all new features and in fact they specifically suggest not all new features will work on all devices capable of running iOS 18. Expecting a two year old iPhone to be able to run the newest features, when the phone doesn't have the hardware required is just not going to happen.

I'm not sure why you think it matters to me or anyone else here if you go to Samsung. You should use what you think is best for you. But if you think after you buy a Samsung and then a couple years later Samsung introduces a new major feature that the phone you own, which is a couple years old, will get all the new features, think again.

I would recommend to get whatever phone you want, nobody really cares what that is. You should also check out the Samsung support forums, where ironically you see the same posts where users are fed up and switching to iPhone. It seems to be the standard knee-jerk reaction whenever a user does not like something. Good Luck!
