  • Apple’s next iPhone SE is rumored to get Apple Intelligence.
  • The iPhone 15 is too underpowered to support the company’s AI.

Of Apple’s current handsets, Apple Intelligence is only available on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. Although these features aren’t supported by the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus, they may become available for the company’s cheapest handset — the next iPhone SE.

In his weekly Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that the iPhone SE (4th gen) should launch at the beginning of 2025. Rumors have suggested there could be a release early in the year, but something we weren’t expecting was a mention of Apple Intelligence support.
