  The iPhone 16 was the big "Built for Apple Intelligence" release, where they added hardware to support AI. So not too surprising to me that iPhone models before the 16/15 Pro wouldn't be able to support the new AI Siri. The surprising part to me is that it took a full 2 years after the iPhone 16 launch to release the feature - and even then it's still a beta release. I'm definitely looking forward to trying it out, but right now I'm still in the waitlist to actually enable the feature. I'm mostly just looking for a usable hands free driving experience compared the old Siri which I found to be almost completely useless. Anything beyond that would be a bonus. I have so little faith in Siri though at this point, though, that I am not expecting miracles.

  This was already known when Apple Intelligence was first announced years ago so nothing surprising there.

  That’s not correct. It reaches back to the 12. They might be referring to the Apple Intelligence features in particular.

    Even further back. iOS 27 supports iPhone 11 (released 7 years ago, btw). Source: https://www.apple.com/os/ios/ https://www.apple.com/os/ios/ near the bottom of the page.

    If I will be able to voice-dial my contact by its name again (used to work few years ago), instead Siri calling some random internet search hit who has the same surname, it is already a win...
