Apple’s recent announcement of its AI capabilities, Apple Intelligence, at WWDC2024 has sparked interest and curiosity among tech enthusiasts. However, it has come to light that not all Apple devices will be equipped with AI features, with only the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone Pro Max receiving this upgrade. The reason behind this limitation lies in the hardware capabilities of the devices, specifically the chipset and RAM. The A17 Pro chip in the Pro models has a more advanced NPU (Neural Processing Unit) that can handle AI tasks, whereas the A16 Bionic chip in the non-Pro models does not. Additionally, the Pro models have more RAM, which is essential for running AI functions. This raises questions about Apple’s prioritization of security and privacy, as the company’s AI features require a more robust hardware infrastructure to operate effectively. It will be interesting to see how Apple addresses these limitations in future device releases.
