Your phone may run iOS 27, but only these devices run everything Siri AI can do

iOS 27 is available on 33 different iPhones, but they're not all running the same software. In fact, only six of them can do everything.

Your phone may run iOS 27, but only these devices run everything Siri AI can do

iOS 27 is now available on a wide range of iPhone models, from the iPhone 11 back to the latest iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Despite the broad compatibility, not all devices can take full advantage of the new operating system and its AI capabilities. While iOS 27 works on devices as old as the iPhone 11, Apple Intelligence features require a minimum of 8GB of RAM, limiting the number of phones that can utilize Apple's AI suite.

The list of iPhones able to run Apple Intelligence includes the iPhone 15 Pro and newer models up to the iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone Duo. These devices are capable of running Siri AI, which includes features like Expressive Voices and advanced dictation. However, these AI features are not available on all iOS 27-compatible devices, as only six iPhones - iPhone 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, 17 Air, 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo - possess the necessary 12GB of RAM for Apple's advanced AI model, AFM Core Advanced.

This capability is also found in select iPad Pro, iPad Air, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air models. In the European Union, Siri AI's launch faces regulatory hurdles due to safety and privacy concerns, delaying its availability in the region.
