Why doesn't Apple Intelligence work on my iPhone 15 Pro Max?

I have upgraded my iPhone 15 pro max to ios 18 and I can't see Clean-up tools in photos, AI Siri, Genmoji and more... Can someone please tell me how to bring these features?

There is still 18.1 and 18.2 in the works that have not made it out of beta testing. Additional features will be added in each point release with no specific date provided.


Read the iOS 18 page here:

It sounds like you’ve updated to iOS 18, but Apple Intelligence features aren’t showing up. There are a few reasons this might be happening:

  1. Region Restrictions: Apple Intelligence features might be limited to certain regions at launch. Double-check if they’re. Change your Apple Account country or region - Apple Support

  1. Language Settings: Make sure your iPhone's language and region settings are set to a supported option (likely US English for now).
  2. Beta vs Public Release: Are you on the iOS 18 Developer Beta or Public Beta? Sometimes, features are rolled out gradually.
  3. Apple ID Requirements: Certain features might require you to be signed in with an Apple ID that meets specific criteria (e.g., region-locked accounts).
  4. Hardware Limitations: While the iPhone 15 Pro Max supports Apple Intelligence, some features may still be limited during early beta stages.

Try checking all these factors, and if everything seems fine, you might need to wait for Apple to enable the features server-side.

I answered you in your own thread. Your phone was manufactured for China and until Apple Intelligence is approved for phones made for China, you won't be able to use Apple Intelligence. It has NOTHING to do with the cost of the phone.

Was this purchased from Apple or Authorized Apple Seller?


Turkey has some of the highest taxes on iPhones making them much more expensive than other parts of the world and some choose different channels to avoid the high cost.


China is much more restrictive on what they will import in their country and currently doesn't allow any iPhone manufactured for the region to include AI. Obviously you are not going to be able to simply change the region on the device to get the banned features for a device destined for China. There are no workarounds for the device, and if there were China residents would use a VPN and change the region.


To answer your other question: "DID WE PAY LESS MONEY". It sounds like you did.

  • What is the Model number at Settings > General > About > Model Number?
  • Do you have the device set to US English?

Change the language on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

  • Do you have the Siri language set to US English?

I purchased an iPhone 14 Pro.......Certified Pre-Owned.......2 Months after purchasing...........WWDC 2024.........I then learned my new iPhone 14 Pro won't receive Apple AI........Obviously, I felt embarrassed, confused and disappointed to have just purchased a worthless iPhone........

Currently, I was about to purchase a Certified Pre-Owned iPhone 15 Pro..........However, after learning about this Apple AI, Visual Intelligence (Google Lens, Amazon Lens, etc.) snub...........I don't understand if the 15 Pro actually receives full Apple AI.......? Truthfully, this feature should have just added & been able to access on the screen and the original camera shortcut key button........Not the new weird capacitive camera button......or allow for both shortcut camera buttons.... lol

The FULL Apple Intelligence will work on an iPhone 15 Pro/15 Pro Max. No, you won't have the new Camera Capture Button, but ALL of the camera features will be available.
