The shocks simply carry on coming. After unveiling the iPhone 16e earlier this week, Apple has now revealed that the iPhone 15 Professional goes to get Visible Intelligence regardless of not having the Digital camera Management button usually used to activate it.
The clues to this shock, the truth is, have been there to be noticed on the 16e launch as that cellphone is in precisely the identical boat. It too doesn’t have a Digital camera Management button (considered one of many compromises to maintain down the worth) but it is going to assist Visible Intelligence out of the field. If the iPhone 16e can provide this characteristic, it stands to purpose that any handset with the specs to run Apple Intelligence can do likewise.
The iPhone 15 Professional clearly didn’t assist Visible Intelligence out of the field, for the reason that characteristic didn’t exist at the moment. However as reported by John Gruber of Daring Fireball, Visible Intelligence will come to the iPhone 15 Professional “in a future software program replace.” That’s virtually sure to be iOS 18.4, which is slated for an early April launch however hasn’t begun beta testing but.
Visible Intelligence is without doubt one of the marquee options of Apple Intelligence.

It might determine crops and animals, summarize textual content, create Calendar occasions from flyers, and get details about companies from a look at their frontage. You activate it by urgent and holding the Digital camera Management… no less than, that’s the way you activate it for now. We don’t but know the way it will work on the iPhones 16e and 15 Professional.
