Apple surprised many by retaining those models on the support list.

Which iPhones will support Siri AI and Apple Intelligence?
Apple
Receiving iOS 27 doesn't guarantee access to all its features. According to Apple, older devices will get the software update but will lack certain AI functionalities, as many processes for Apple Intelligence and Siri AI occur on-device and necessitate newer, more powerful chipsets.
Features like Clean Up and Live Translation need an iPhone 15 Pro or later. Siri AI, Apple’s newly introduced AI-driven voice assistant, has an even more limited compatibility range. For the complete AI experience, you must have one of these models:
- iPhone 15 Pro
- iPhone 15 Pro Max
- iPhone 16e
- iPhone 16
- iPhone 16 Pro
- iPhone 16 Pro Max
- iPhone 17e
- iPhone 17
- iPhone 17 Pro
- iPhone 17 Pro Max
- iPhone Air
Please note that Siri AI will not be available at launch in the European Union or China, due to ongoing regulatory issues. The rollout of iOS 27 is expected for all compatible models in September 2026.
