I can't see how the 15 or 15 Plus would still be a good buy now that we know it won't have access to Apple Intelligence? I mean I'm sure we'll keep these phones around for 3 or 5 years or more, and at some point AI is gonna be widely adopted in that time frame and 15 and 15 Plus owners would be missing out, no?

I would think that any purchase now is not recommended. Wait for iPhone 16 and see what the AI final spec requirement will be. After watching the recent WWDC, their AI is actually not ready. It is just a concept and some functions will have to be implemented later into 2025.

It is sad because my months old iPhone 15 plus is not eligible for this new AI. But that is Apple. They don't give extra hardware headroom. It is always about maximising profit. When I look at Samsung camp, their years old galaxy devices are getting AI treatment.

My only advice now: DON’T BUY CURRENT iPhones. Just wait for iPhone 16 . biggrin.gif

Ya, my point exactly. I think the 15 and 15 Plus is a hard sell now, given how it's public knowledge that it'll miss out on the AI features. Apple certainly did 15 and 15 Plus owners some injustice there. I was considering getting a 15 for my kid (who has outgrown his 12 Mini) but think I will wait for the 16 now - coz I want him to use the phone for at least 5 years..
I understand this completely, but I just think it'd be nice to have all the features available including AI when the phone commands a premium pricing. Especially considering most iPhone users use their phone for a number of years.

iPhone 15 will go down in history as the "CURRENT" phone that lacks a future...... vmad.gif
