- IPhone 16, Apple Intelligence iPhone 16, arrives on the iPhone 15 Pro
- An Apple spokesperson has confirmed that the AI ​​functionality will arrive on iPhone 15 pro and pro max in a future update
- Visual intelligence allows you to obtain information on the objects to which you direct your camera to
Earlier in the day, I wrote about how the iPhone 16th obtaining visual intelligence was a Sucker punch for owners of the iPhone 15 Pro who still did not have access to one of the best Apple Intelligence tools. Well, it seems that the owners of iPhone 15 Pro are lucky because it has now been confirmed that visual intelligence is coming to the Smartphone 2023.
An Apple spokesperson told John Gruber de Daring Fireball that “owners of the iPhone 15 Pro could soon link their action button to visual intelligence” and that it will come “in a future update software “.
Not only will the owners of the iPhone 15 Pro get visual intelligence via the Action button, but Apple representatives also confirmed that the “Control Center button to launch Visual Intelligence also arrives on the iPhone 15 Pro (and probably also iPhone 16 models). “
This is a huge news for the owners of the iPhone 15 Pro who have been on the fence whether or not to go to an iPhone 16, 16 pro or the new 16th only for visual intelligence . Personally, I do not think that visual intelligence is sufficient to justify an upgrade, although it is a major decisive factor for me when I bought the 16 pro in September.
If I had known that the 15 pro would get visual intelligence, I may not have opted for a new device this year. That said, if you held an upgrade and you are perfectly satisfied with the iPhone 15 Pro (what you should be is an excellent device), you now have a new major IA tool to come in A future update.
iPhone 15 pro corresponds to the Apple intelligence capabilities of the iPhone 16
The biggest change with this news is the fact that the iPhone 15 Pro now corresponds to the latest flagship iPhones in terms of Apple’s intelligence functionality.
In my Apple AI tests on several devices, I found that the performances were quite equal on Mac, the iPhone and the iPad. This means that I expect iphone 15 pro users to get an experience as good as iPhone 16 owners with regard to visual intelligence.
Visual Intelligence is an interesting Apple intelligence feature – it allows users to point their camera in an object and obtain information directly from Chatgpt or Google Search. Visual intelligence can identify plants, animals and even add events to your calendar.
I found that visual intelligence was a useful tool thanks to its dedicated launch button in the form of camera control, you can quickly remove your iPhone from your pocket and target an object. Although the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 16th do not benefit from the camera control, they always get an excellent new AI tool that may be useful when you expect the least.
Apple continues to improve Apple intelligence
Apple Intelligence is still in its infancy and although we always expect future updates like Siri with a awareness of the screen and a personal context (expected in iOS 18.4), there are still many tools of useful AI cooked in the iPhone.
It should be noted that Apple Intelligence is still in beta according to Apple, which means that the software experience is constantly improving with each update. Visual Intelligence has taken giant steps since its launch as part of iOS 18.2 in December, and now Apple deploys the functionality to more devices, I am delighted to see how it evolves in the future.
If you have an iPhone 15 Pro, it is really not necessary to upgrade for Apple Intelligence, and that’s a good thing. The owners of the iPhone 15, however, well … Your one -year iPhone is already left in a past without AI.
