How can I access Apple Intelligence features on iPad?

I’m genuinely curious why the 10th gen iPad won’t have intelligence and the new Siri, I know it’s capable, there are workarounds, and I hear they preform great, is it apple trying to make u pay more?

On a 4GB iPad 10gen, this support site would be filled with these posts:

  • Why is Apple slowing down my iPad?
  • My iPad feels too hot?
  • My iPad battery drains too quickly now?
  • My iPad is now unusable, is Apple forcing me to update my device?
  • Can I downgrade after installing this update? No.


Software has always outpaced Hardware ever since the first computer and that will continue well into the future. That is the nature of technology.

I wish that Apple Intelligence comes in iPad 10 gen

You can wish, but your wish won't come true. I wish I'd win the lottery and I have a better chance of winning the lottery than you do of getting Apple Intelligence on a device which lacks the hardware required to run it. Sorry, but you'll have to buy an iPad which is capable of running Apple Intelligence if you want it.

Since Apple Intelligence features are ALL bundled into iOS, it's not likely Apple will start breaking them out to make them work with devices which can't support Apple Intelligence. Every year, Apple releases new features which are hardware dependent and never once have I seen Apple make features which are hardware dependent roll down to devices which lack the hardware required.

Hey!
So I got to this link from Apple Support Get started with Apple Intelligence on iPad - Apple Support
and the iPad shown is an iPad 10th gen. How do i see that? Welp, the bezels. So maybe in iOS 19 the iPad 10 will get Apple Intelligence..?

Hugely unlikely, but Apple may be hoping you'll find the features of interest enough to upgrade to a device which CAN run Apple Intelligence.
