Why is the Apple Intelligence not included on my iPhone 16?

Just trade in my iPhone 12 Pro Max for the 16 expecting it to have all the features that were advertised with Apple Intelligence.

But instead I got a phone virtually the same as my 12 with a bit of a hardware upgrade.

It hasn't been released yet. Apple Intelligence will be available this Fall. It was not expected in the initial launch of iOS 18. Visit the website for more details.

I reside in Ireland and, like many others, was enticed by the enticing promises made by Apple. I waited patiently, especially after reading in December that Apple AI would be launching, but nothing materialized. When I reached out to Apple support, they informed me that, yes, English language support had indeed been extended to Ireland. However, I couldn't help but wonder what advantages this brings to my iPhone that I didn't already have.


still no sign of APPLE AI. I will not be falling for this again.

I have iPhone 16 and I turned on Apple Intelligence. I was only able to use some of the new features for example Siri, proofread of messages and clean up tool on photos. I am not able to use Jen emoji, I am not able to ask Siri questions based off photos, and I am not able to use the playground app where you can create different AI photos using photos you have how come I am only able to use and have certain features of this new update

You MUST have the device region set to THE SAME region as you have set Siri. I had my iPhone (and my MacBook Air) set to English US, but I had Siri set to a make a British voice (just for fun). Neither my MacBook nor my iPhone 16Pro offered AI.

My devices are set to the British male voice, but I had no trouble downloading Apple Intelligence. I don't believe that the selection of the Siri voice is relevant. I suspect that something else of which you are unaware changed at the same time.
