When Apple announced Apple Intelligence at WWDC 2024, it also had to acknowledge the biggest software fragmentation in iPhone history. iOS 18 would enable Apple Intelligence only on the iPhone 15 Pro models and the iPhone 16 series. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus would be left out, as would every other iPhone model still in use.
Weeks later, we learned about the two big hardware constraints that make Apple Intelligence incompatible with the non-Pro iPhone 15 models. First, those iPhones feature iPhone 14 Pro-grade chips that might not be good enough to handle Apple Intelligence’s Neural Engine needs for on-device AI. The bigger bottleneck was apparently RAM, as the iPhone 15 has 6GB RAM instead of the minimum requirement of 8GB.
What if I told you there’s an iOS 18 hack that lets you enable not only Apple Intelligence on the iPhone 15 but also other features that might be exclusive to iPhone Pro models, like the Camera Control button and Always-On Display?
Before I show you the hack, I’ll tell you two things. First, Apple has patched the exploit, so most people will not be able to pull it off. More importantly, this hack is possible via a software vulnerability that might have been exploited in the wild.
