Today at WWDC Apple unveiled its next generation of Apple Intelligence, including the new Siri AI. But the most powerful on-device AI model will be restricted to some of Apple’s newest products. Here are the details.

Apple has strict hardware requirements for iOS 27’s most advanced on-device model

Apple shared a lot about the new Siri AI and next-gen Apple Intelligence today during WWDC.

But one especially surprising announcement involves the system requirements for its most powerful on-device AI model.

While many of the new AI features in iOS 27 run on the same hardware supported today (e.g., iPhone 15 Pro), Apple has higher standards for a new on-device model.
