Why does Apple Intelligence only support the iPhone 15 Pro?

The limitations of Apple Intelligence across its products have led many to question the reasons behind them. Now, things have been explained more clearly by an Apple AI leader on The Talk Show Live .

Apple claims it imposed restrictions on Apple Intelligence to entice users to buy the iPhone 15 Pro.

John Giannandrea, Apple's senior vice president of machine learning and AI strategy, explains that running large language models (LLMs) requires significant computing power, so devices running LLMs need to be fast and powerful enough to handle them. He acknowledges that, theoretically, older devices could also run these models, but the processing speed would be so slow that they would become useless.

With this explanation, many believe that Apple Intelligence will be a pretext for Apple to sell new devices, specifically to boost sales of the iPhone 15 Pro. However, the company's chief marketing officer, Greg Joswiak, dismissed the suspicion and stated that if they wanted to do so, they could also limit sales of recent iPad and Mac models.

Apple Intelligence brings a range of features to the devices it supports, with some coming soon such as Writing Tools, which allows AI to rewrite content; Genmoji, which uses AI generation to create new emojis based on user-provided text descriptions; and Siri enhancements.

Since its launch last year, the iPhone 15 Pro has garnered attention with its powerful A17 Pro chip, making it the first iPhone to feature Apple's own intelligent technology.
