Apple’s “Glowtime” event on Monday gave us the iPhone 16 series with built-in Apple Intelligence features. But the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max aren’t the only Apple devices to get this new AI ability.
Apple Intelligence, which include AI-powered writing tools, photo-editing capabilities, summarization, and an overhauled Siri, will be compatible with other Apple devices after upcoming OS updates. Some of the Apple Intelligence features won’t be available with the latest updates; many are expected to roll out in the coming months.
Here are the Apple devices that support Apple Intelligence, along with when it’s available.
iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max
All versions of the iPhone 16 are “built from the ground up” with Apple Intelligence on board, CEO Tim Cook said at the event.
Apple Intelligence will be available in the iOS 18.1 beta version, slated for October.

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max were the first iPhones to come with Apple Intelligence, as announced at WWDC last spring. Sorry to those with iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, but Apple Intelligence is only available with the Pro versions.
A beta version of Apple Intelligence will come to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max with the iOS 18.1 update this October.
iPad with M1 chip and later
The iPad Air and iPad Pro finally got some love last spring. That included meaningful upgrades to displays and AI-powered features for photo and video editing, and graphic design.
Meanwhile, iPads with an M1 chip or later will also get access to Apple Intelligence. That includes newer versions of the iPad Pro, which currently has an M4 chip, and the iPad Air, which has an M2 chip.
Apple Intelligence will be available on these models in beta with the iPadOS 18.1 update in October.
Mac with M1 chips and later
With the macOS 15 Sequoia update, Macs will also get Apple Intelligence features. That includes an iPhone mirroring, a “tiling” feature that automatically organizes all your apps, improved FaceTime and a Passwords app to compete with LastPass and Okta.
Apple Intelligence features, still in beta, will roll out on macOS Sequoia 15.1 in October.
