Visual Intelligence is Apple’s answer to the AI search feature that Google currently offers for Android devices. It integrates Siri, ChatGPT, and even Google Search. This feature is an iPhone 16 exclusive feature as it can only be launched via the Camera Control button. Most recently, this feature will be supported on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
According to a report by Daring Fireball, an Apple representative told him that iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users will soon be able to select Visual Intelligence as one of the actions that can be performed on the Action Button. The new iPhone 16e is the first device without a Camera Control button to support this feature on the action button. Many expect it to not be offered to other iPhones as it is an “Essential” feature on the iPhone 16.
At the moment it is still uncertain when it will be given to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. It will probably arrive in the iOS 18.4 update which is expected to be another big update that brings a lot of new things to Apple Intelligence.
