Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
Apple continues its pattern of reserving top-tier Apple Intelligence features for its Pro iPhone models, leaving the base iPhone 17 excluded from select iOS 27 upgrades. This mirrors the iOS 18 approach where Apple Intelligence was limited to iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models, cutting off the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus from key AI-powered features.
