List Of All Apple Intelligence Supported Devices

Today was an important day for Apple! The Cupertino tech giant finally launched its much-awaited iPhone 16 series. With the new iPhones, we also got the release date for iOS 18, which was first previewed at WWDC in June 2024. The new iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia add a sweet glaze of AI features to top off the treats that Apple usually has in store. This suite of AI features has been dubbed Apple Intelligence and brings the contextual Siri upgrade we’ve always wanted, OS-wide AI writing tools, Genmoji, an AI image playground, and lots more.

All that sounds delightful but these new AI features will be limited only to certain Apple devices. If you want to know whether your iPhone, iPad, or Mac will support Apple Intelligence, check out the device list below.

Apple Intelligence Compatibility List

Apple Intelligence is using on-device processing to answer your queries and maintain your privacy while you use AI features on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It’s worth knowing that only the M-series processors, A17 Pro, and the latest A18 chipset have the computational power to make this feature a reality.

Hence, all Apple devices with the aforementioned Apple Silicon will get the new AI features. Here is the complete list of devices that will support Apple Intelligence features:

• iPhone 16
• iPhone 16 Plus
• iPhone 16 Pro
• iPhone 16 Pro Max
• iPhone 15 Pro
• iPhone 15 Pro Max
• iPad Air (M1 and later, starting with the 2022 model)
• iPad Pro (M1 and later, starting with the 2021 model)
• MacBook Air (M1 and later)
• MacBook Pro (M1 and later)
• iMac (M1 and later)
• Mac mini (M1 and later)
• Mac Studio (M1 Max and later)
• Mac Pro (M2 Ultra)

Do I Need to Pay for Apple Intelligence Features?

Apple Intelligence is free for users of all supported iPhone, iPad, and Mac models. To be able to use the AI features, you will initially need to set the Siri and device language to U.S. English. Also, you’ll have to update to the latest macOS Sequoia, iPadOS 18, and iOS 18 to access the AI features.

At the iPhone 16 launch event, Apple also revealed the Apple Intelligence release date.

Apple has great restraint, and that was proven at the WWDC 2024 and the iPhone launch event today. Although their new Apple Intelligence suite is a clever wordplay on the modern buzzword — AI, there was probably just a single instance where Craig Federighi used it during the announcement. Apple knows you’re going to call it AI after all, so better to call it ‘Apple Intelligence’ instead of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ to make it sound more personal and connected to their brand.
