Why can't iPhone 15 run Apple AI?

According to BGR , iOS 18 has officially launched with many attractive features, however, the Apple AI (Apple Intelligence) artificial intelligence toolkit will only be available on iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max models or upcoming iPhone 16 versions.

According to expert Ming-Chi Kuo, the main reason why the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus cannot run Apple AI is due to limited RAM capacity. The iPhone 15 models only have 6 GB of RAM, while this AI system requires at least 8 GB to operate effectively.

Low RAM capacity prevents iPhone 15 from running Apple Intelligence

Mr. Kuo added that Apple AI uses a large language model (LLM) with 3 billion parameters, which requires at least 2 GB of RAM to process. Therefore, 8 GB of RAM is the minimum to ensure a smooth AI experience on the device.

Although Apple AI cannot be experienced on the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, users can still enjoy many other new features of iOS 18. This is also good news for those who care about privacy, because Apple AI will prioritize processing data on the device instead of sending it to the cloud.

However, the fact that the iPhone 15 does not support Apple AI also shows that Apple has not anticipated the rapid development of AI technology and its impact on iPhone hardware. This may disappoint some users, but also opens up the opportunity to upgrade to newer iPhone models in the future.
