One of the Best Apple Intelligence Features Is Coming to More iPhones
1 min read
Summary
Apple’s Visual Intelligence relies on the camera control button, exclusive to the iPhone 16 series, but the feature is reportedly coming to iPhone 15 Pro smartphones in a future software update, possibly iOS 18.4.
This is presumably why the budget iPhone 16e, which also has an action button, supports Visual Intelligence, as it will also be extended to the iPhone 15 Pro.
The iPhone 15 Pro reportedly has the necessary hardware, so it is unclear why it was not released with Visual Intelligence initially.
It is speculated this could be an Apple strategy to encourage users to upgrade to the latest iPhone.
The developer beta for iOS 18.4 is expected any day, with a public beta likely in April.
