However, if you want to get the most out of the upcoming Apple Intelligence features, then you will need the A17 Pro chip, meaning either the Phone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Not to mention changes to the messages with new tap-back options, scheduled messages, and even the option to add new text effects. Users can remain in contact with their friends and family with new satellite communication options in messages, which include end-to-end encryption.

Meanwhile, if you have access to compatible phones, you'll have access to Apple Intelligence, which brings a wealth of updated features for the iPhone. These include changes to Siri that make your assistance more powerful and intelligent. The updated Siri can integrate with apps and even has access to ChatGPT to bring you all the suggestions and information you need. Not to mention reported talks to bring in other options of users, giving Apple fans more choice than any other.
