The Daily Mail claim the Apple iPhone 15 won’t be getting iOS18. I think they are talking about an older iPhone and they got the facts wrong.

@steve_west I think that’s what they actually meant. I’m not interested in Apple AI. No way would I update my iPhone 15 for it.

@steve_west if you run the 18.1 developer beta on an iPhone 15 Pro (or Pro Max), you can enable Apple Intelligence. The 18.0 public beta doesn't support the AI feature.

I don't believe the base (non-Pro) iPhone 15 will support Apple Intelligence.

Other than that, I think the mail online article may be in error regarding device support. The Apple preview website for IOS18 lists standard compatibility going back to iPhone 11 and even XS/XR.

@CodeMacLife probably saw the 9to5Mac headline that it would be the fastest a device has ever become obsolete and ran with it.

@paulthenerd That sounds about right. I’m sure they all have some deal with Apple to push the latest iPhone.

@CodeMacLife Or more likely, its typical engagement farming for the advertisers

@paulthenerd That is also a very valid point.
