Summary

  • Apple has confirmed to tech writer John Gruber that its Google Lens-style Visual Intelligence tool will come to the iPhone 15 Pro in a future software update.
  • The tool uses the phone’s camera to identify objects and provide the user with relevant information.
  • Visual Intelligence was launched with the iPhone 16 range in September 2022 and used the camera control button for activation.
  • Apple announced yesterday that it would make the feature available on the iPhone 16 E, which lacks the camera control button, via the action button.
  • This showed that the feature could also be available on the iPhone 15 Pro, which has an action button, and Apple has now confirmed this to be the case.
  • It is not yet known which software update will enable the feature on the iPhone 15 Pro.
