iPhone 15 Pro to Receive iPhone 16 Pro’s Best Feature for Free Soon
by Amiya Nandy in Phones on February 21, 2025iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max is the latest in the series and if you already have it, your experience with the phone will be both pleasant and rewarding. Apple is about to deliver one of the best iPhone 16 Pro features beyond this year’s models as well—and it will be totally free of charge! The long-awaited Visual Intelligence feature is on its way to the iPhone 15 Pro range in the soon-to-be-released software update, probably the first release of iOS 18.4 in early April 2025.
What is Visual Intelligence?
To illustrate, let’s say that Visual Intelligence is nothing else but your phone’s AI-powered helper in the real world. By means of the said feature, a user can just aim their camera to objects, books, or road signs and immediately get some useful data, translations, or even an abstract. It’s akin to having Google Lens, Live Text, and a personal AI trainer together in one product.
In the very beginning, Visual Intelligence was only made available to iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max but now its entrance into iPhone 15Pro models has been announced allowing users to not only save money without upgrading the phone but also get additional value.
How to Use Visual Intelligence on the iPhone 15 Pro
When the update is ready, you will be able to Visual Intelligence by:
- The Action Button – Tune your Action Button, so it will be easier for you to launch Visual Intelligence in no time.
- Control Center – Pull out the Control Center, and thus, get the activation done at the given time.
Apple is on a mission to make sure that the use of Visual Intelligence is quick, convenient, and completely seamless part of everyday activities.
What Can You Do with Visual Intelligence?
This AI-based utility is made to be useful in all situations. Here’s the most probable set of problems to be tackled:
- Point your camera at menus, signs, or documents and receive a real-time translation if you are abroad
- Explaining the whole book is no longer needed if you make your cell phone scan documents, books, or articles and then have it give you a brief summary.
- Smart apps let you ask your phone questions like, “What’s that tree?” and get the answer thanks to the power of the camera.
- Can a computer do your homework? Using the AI feature of Visual Intelligence, you can process the problem and find answers so that you won’t miss anything.
Much like a powerful tool that you can have with you wherever you go, and whether you are a student, a traveler, or just someone who loves learning new stuff, it can make your life so much easier.
When Will This Feature Be Available?
Apple did not announce a specific release date, but according to gossips of the possible inclusion of Visual Intelligence in the iOS 18.4 update likely to be deployed in the first week of April 2025. But that is not all. To boot, it is a free update for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max owners.
Why is Apple Bringing This to Older Devices?
One of the big reasons is that Apple is rarely putting out a fresh, exclusive feature for the old model. So why is it that they do it nowadays? A couple of the reasons are as follows:
- Keeping iPhones Competitive – Apple used Samsung and Google as an excuse to bring this idea onto the market. In doing so, they satisfy the needs of their current iPhone users by not leaving them behind.
- Showcasing Apple’s AI Capabilities – Apple is cheaperening the reasonable proceeds from its AI and machine learning investments, distributing this invention in a wide range, and welcoming more clients to participate in the process.
- Boosting iOS Adoption – Apple is in demand of more consumers in iOS 18. Through implementing a big new feature, they get instant access to new users.
Will Other iPhones Get This Feature?
Unfortunately, Visual Intelligence will only be accessible on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. This is because the devices are restricted by hardware. The A17 Pro chip uniformly infused in these appliances owns the power to process instant artificial intelligence in a true sense, by means of object recognition, text analysis, and translations.
It will be out of luck for the people who have the regular iPhone 15 and the older ones that won’t be getting this feature. That’s mainly owing to their chips not being able to work as well with AI chis as they could if their driving components were those commonly used with it.
The iPhone 15 Pro is rightly viewed as the star regarding the release of the iPhone 16 Pro. Given the features and functions like real-time translations, instant text summaries, and the object recognition in the most advanced way possible, it is recent technology that will be a turning point in the way iPhone is used.
Thousand of users would be able to get the most life-like Siri with the breakthrough iOS version 18.4 soon, which is set to be released in the first part of April. Look for the update, and you can unlock almost unlimited memory, color, and screen face features of iPhone 15 Pro — it does not require that you do the upgrade.
