Apple intelligence would be really great if it was also on iPhone 12 it’s still great though!

How can get apple intelligence on my iPhone XS Max

Trade your iPhone in for one which has the ability to run Apple Intelligence. iOS XS Max will NEVER get Apple Intelligence. NEVER. EVER. This means buy an iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max (you'd have to find one used as they are discontinued) or buy any current model iPhone 16.

Yeah but maybe we could get a worse version with less features.

You already have AI on your device to perform many tasks, that is exactly what Machine Learning is. Some of these features such as Object Detection are available on your device and not on earlier devices such as the iPhone X for the same reason you see now. Software has always outpaced Hardware ever since the first computer and that is going to continue to be the case well into the future.

  • Object Detection in Photos
  • Face Detection in Photos
  • Pet Detection in Photos
  • Memories in Photos
  • Text Prediction
  • Siri Suggestions
  • Face ID
  • Neural Image Analysis
  • Map Suggestions
