Apple is restricting its new, AI-powered Siri capabilities to newer hardware, according to a report outlining the full device compatibility list. The limitation emphasizes the demanding on-device processing power required to run the company's next-generation intelligence tools.
While users holding onto older iPhones will continue to receive broader operating system updates, they will miss out on the overhauled Siri experience. To access the more contextual and capable assistant, users will need to be on supported modern devices equipped with sufficiently powerful silicon.
This tiered rollout highlights an industry-wide shift, where cutting-edge generative AI capabilities are increasingly driving hardware upgrade cycles.
