en.Wedoany.com Reported - Apple has set a 12GB unified memory threshold for the most advanced on-device artificial intelligence model in iOS 27, rendering the standard iPhone 17 unable to support it.

With the launch of the new generation of Apple Intelligence models, their performance surpasses all previous versions. Although most AI features in iOS 27 can run on current hardware, including the iPhone 15 Pro, the most powerful model imposes higher memory requirements on devices. The base iPhone 17, equipped with 8GB of memory, falls short of the required 12GB standard and is excluded from supported devices. Since the introduction of Apple Intelligence, the minimum memory requirement has remained at 8GB, marking the first time Apple has raised the memory threshold for its most powerful features.

To run the most powerful model on-device, users need the following devices: iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, or iPhone 17 Pro Max; an iPad with an M4 or newer processor and at least 12GB of unified memory; a Mac with an M3 or newer processor and at least 12GB of unified memory; or an Apple Vision Pro with an M5.
