iPhone 15 Pro Max… region & language set to English US… no intelligence?



Does your phone have Dual Nano Sim? Or was it bought from China or does it end with CH/A in the model number? I bought mine from there, and from what I know, phones from China don’t get Apple intelligence. I was pretty bummed when it didn’t show up after I updated to iOS 18.1.

Yes it’s dual and ends with Ch/A. That’s unfortunate… is there a link where I can read more about this?

How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support (HK).

@Axel
Thanks a lot… that explains it. They said ‘currently’… is there a release date for us iPhone users who didn’t get it?

China is supposedly working on their own AI system like they’ve been doing with other things.

Weird… are you sure the region is set to US?

Yes, in general settings, language & region, it’s set to United States. Am I missing something?

Did you turn it on in Settings? It doesn’t get added automatically.

I can’t find where to turn it on. In my third screenshot, it’s just normal Siri.

Go to Settings, then Apple intelligence & Siri.

It’s not there.

Maybe restart your phone?

Solved.

What country are you in?

Hmm… so odd! Are you sure it’s a 15 Pro Max and not a 14 Pro Max by any chance?

I’m sure.

I updated last night and got Apple intelligence and Siri… it also included visual intelligence and some other features.
