Apple had told Daring Fireball that the feature would be coming to those iPhones in a future software update but didn’t say which. Barring any last-minute changes, it now seems like it will be available widely with the official rollout of iOS 18.4, which is expected in April.
Visual Intelligence launched as a feature accessible from the Camera Control button for the iPhone 16 lineup that debuted in September. Because the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max don’t have the Camera Control button, you’ll instead be able to use Visual Intelligence through the Action Button or via Control Center, similar to the newly launched iPhone 16E.
According to 9to5Mac, today’s iOS 18.4 developer beta 2 update also brings the Action Button and Control Center options for Visual Intelligence to the rest of the iPhone 16 lineup.
