Apple also supports older iPhone models with iOS 27, but requires more powerful hardware for artificial intelligence features.
Which iPhone models have iOS 27 and Siri AI support? Hardware details required for Apple Intelligence and new Siri features are in our news.
Apple offers a wide range of device support ranging from iOS 27 to iPhone 11, but not every iPhone that can install the operating system will be able to benefit from the new artificial intelligence features. Hardware requirements play a very decisive role in iOS 27 and Siri AI support, which users are eagerly awaiting.
More powerful hardware is required for Apple Intelligence and the completely renewed Siri AI. For this reason, the standard iPhone 15 models, as well as the iPhone 11, 12, 13 and 14 series, will not be able to run Siri AI despite receiving iOS 27.
Hardware Requirements for iOS 27 and Siri AI
iOS 27 support starts with the second generation of iPhone SE. In addition to the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max models, all iPhone 12, iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 series can run the new operating system.
iPhone 15 family, iPhone 16 series, iPhone 17 family, iPhone Air, iPhone 17e, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone Duo also receive this update. Thus, Apple continues to protect a significant portion of the old devices it supports with iOS 26 in iOS 27.
On the Siri AI side, the requirements are kept at a much higher level. New artificial intelligence supported Siri; It can be used on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, as well as iPhone 16 and newer models.
iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are excluded from this scope. The same goes for the older iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone 12 and iPhone 11 series.
In other words, iOS 27 support is not the same as Apple Intelligence support. By switching to iOS 27, iPhone 11 users can use the operating system's innovations that do not require artificial intelligence, but cannot access Siri AI features.
Siri AI uses a new architecture built on Apple Intelligence, unlike Apple's previous Siri infrastructure. Using personal context, the assistant can find information among messages, emails, and photos.
Text creation features with the new Siri are also added to the system. Users can ask Siri to create text from scratch or edit an existing text in areas where text can be written.
Regional Restrictions and Device Compatibility
Not all features of Siri AI will work equally on all supported devices. Products that can run Apple's more advanced on-device artificial intelligence model have more natural and customizable Siri voices.
On the iPad side, Apple Intelligence and Siri AI require iPad mini with A17 Pro processor or iPad models with M1 and newer processors. On the Mac side, models with M1 or newer Apple Silicon processors are supported, while MacBook Neo using A18 Pro is also among compatible devices.
On Apple Watch, the system does not work directly depending on the hardware of the watch. Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2, and SE 3 models can take advantage of Siri AI features when a compatible Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone is nearby.
Siri AI is initially available in beta in English. Siri AI is not initially available on iOS, iPadOS and watchOS in the European Union.
Türkiye is not included in the scope of the Siri AI restriction applied to the European Union. Although Apple Intelligence generally has Turkish support, Turkish support for the new Siri AI is not offered at the first stage.
Apple will expand language support for Siri AI in the future. What do you think about the limited device support of these new artificial intelligence features?
According to CBS News, Donald Trump called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during the All-In Summit 2026 artificial intelligence and innovation summit in Los Angeles. The conversation was put on speakerphone by Huang so that those in the room could hear, and Trump described data centers as 'great', said that artificial intelligence will be bigger than oil in the future, and described artificial intelligence threats as 'hoax'.

Qualcomm continues active negotiations with Samsung for the production of its new flagship processors, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Pro models. TSMC's capacity constraints and Samsung's improvement in 2nm manufacturing efficiency are shaping Qualcomm's strategy to diversify its supply chain.

While releasing iOS 27, Apple also introduced a security-focused update called iOS 26.7. The update does not contain new features, but it includes critical security patches and offers an alternative option for users who maintain the current operating system version.

The European Commission is preparing a new regulation that will comprehensively limit access to digital platforms for those under the age of 15. Artificial intelligence chatbots and online gaming platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, ChatGPT will be covered. Those aged 15 and above will be able to open their own accounts, those aged 13-14 will be able to use starter accounts under parental control, those aged 3-12 will be able to access child-friendly services with full parental control, and those under the age of 3 will not have access. Age verification will be made mandatory and platforms will be obliged to develop harmful content reporting tools.
