Apple Intelligence is here with a host of exciting AI features that will change the way you use your Mac. But is your device compatible? We’ve got the answer.

This story is part of our complete Apple WWDC coverage At its Worldwide Developers Conference , Apple lifted the lid on Apple Intelligence, its own artificial intelligence system that infuses your devices with machine learning goodness and AI power.

In other words, an Apple silicon chip is essential. That said, the list is fairly generous, as you don’t need the very latest chips and even a Mac released four years ago will be compatible. So, depending on what Mac you have, you might not need to upgrade at all. Getting Apple Intelligence for free is fantastic news, and it’s something that Microsoft’s AI-infused Copilot+ PCs can’t hope to offer.

Since Apple has designed its AI system to carry out a large number of tasks on your device, that means your Mac needs to have a chip powerful enough to handle a lot of very complex machine learning workloads. In that regard, the older Intel chips found in pre-Apple silicon Macs just aren’t up to snuff, as they lack any sort of dedicated Neural Processor.

If you have an iPad, though, Apple’s requirements are less stringent. As with many Macs, you’ll just need an M1 chip or later to be able to use Apple Intelligence.
