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.
