One thing was pretty clear at WWDC 2024 this past week after Apple showcased the Apple Intelligence features that will be coming to its phones later this year: if most of us want to experience things like a more contextually aware Siri assistant alongside writing and image generation tools, we're going to need to get a new iPhone.
That's because right now, the only iPhones capable of running Apple Intelligence are the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, both of which are powered by Apple's A17 Pro system-on-chip. Presumably, the ranks of Apple Intelligence-supporting phones will grow this fall when the iPhone 16 models arrive.
