Apple’s most advanced on-device AI features will only work on select devices | Infinium-tech

Apple introduced several new Apple Intelligence features during WWDC 2026, along with advanced Siri AI. However, the company’s most powerful on-device AI model, along with the many features it enables, will only be available on select devices.

In a press release, Apple confirmed that its most advanced on-device AI models require at least 12GB of integrated memory. This model powers several new Apple Intelligence capabilities, including Siri AI features like more expressive voices and advanced dictation.

On the iPhone side, support is limited to the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air, all of which are equipped with 12GB of integrated memory. The standard iPhone 17, which comes with 8GB of RAM, does not meet the requirement and hence will not support these features.

For iPad users, the new AI capabilities will be available on new models with an M4 chip or at least 12GB of integrated memory. On Mac, support extends to devices equipped with an M3 chip or later and 12GB of RAM or more. Finally, the Apple Vision Pro with M5 will also support advanced AI features.
