iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max: Visual intelligence now active

Visual Intelligence, Visual Intelligence, calls Apple a function with which you can use an iPhone camera to query information about the environment. Finally, there were also functions such as calendar entries, translations or the summary of texts. Alone, the function was only reserved for the iPhone 16 models released last autumn-probably also because Apple wanted to stop it from its predecessors. Therefore, Visual Intelligence could only be triggered by the new camera control, which is missing 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. With iOS 18.4 something is happening: As already announced, Apple has implemented a subsequent delivery. So it was not due to the hardware.

Chatgpt also helps in an emergency

With Visual Intelligence you can also question Google, have texts read out loud and contact chatt. With the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max you can now put Visual Intelligence on the action button. To do this, select “Visual Intelligence” in the system settings under action button – and the feature is already on the button, without any camera control.

Alternatively – for example – if you need the action button for more important things – you use the control center, where a suitable icon now appears in the Apple Intelligence and Siri area, which can then be pushed far forward.

New basic service in planning

The iPhone 16e was able to access Visual Intelligence in this two species before iOS 18.4. The support for iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max is therefore a no-brainer. With iOS 18.4, Apple had also released its Apple Intelligence Ki system for the first time-partially based on the visual intelligence.

In the United States, Visual Intelligence is now possible to discontinue restaurant reservations or delivery service orders. It can be assumed that the features will be expanded in the future. A “live assistant” with camera image, as Google or Openaai have already presented, you will probably not achieve with the function, which is not the goal either. However, what disturbs is the fact that you cannot analyze any existing images with visual intelligence – you have to be either just picked up or just be right in front of the lens.
