WWDC 2024 could finally tempt you to upgrade your old iPhone and Mac — don't miss out on Apple's rumored AI features coming soon

No one likes missing out on things, especially when it comes to upcoming features from Apple.

According to Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, some of Apple’s rumored AI features will be reserved for its iPhone 15 Pro line and Apple silicon Macs — likely due to the company’s focus on having these upcoming features work on device. This is a different approach from other AI assistants such as Google Gemini and Microsoft’s Copilot, which communicate with servers to generate results.

This rumored compatibility requirement for certain Apple devices potentially means that anyone who owns an Intel Mac, or an iPhone that’s older than a 15 Pro or Pro Max, will not be able to use all of Apple’s AI features. These are reportedly set to be announced at its WWDC keynote on June 10.

If this rumor turns out to be true, and you’re in the camp of owning an Intel Mac or an older iPhone, it may be time to consider an upgrade. Fortunately, we’ve listed a few of these devices below, all packed with Apple silicon. This way, you can be ready to use all of Apple’s AI features from day one.
