iPhone SE 4 May Lack Apple Intelligence Feature Due to Potential RAM Downgrade
According to leaked code from macOS 15.1 Sequoia Beta, the upcoming iPhone SE 4 might not support Apple Intelligence, a suite of generative AI features that will initially be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
• The leaked code suggests that the iPhone SE 4 may have only 6GB of RAM instead of the previously rumored 8GB, which is a requirement for running Apple Intelligence.
• While the iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature the same A18 chipset as the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, having a capable SoC with an upgraded Neural Engine is not enough to run cloud-based and on-device generative AI features.
• This development could be a disappointment for users who were hoping for the iPhone SE 4 to offer the latest AI capabilities at a more affordable price point.
