However, one massive AI tool,Visual Intelligence, has not been available to iPhone 15 Pro models.

There was speculation that this was due to theCamera Control buttonwhich the iPhone 15 lacks.

The initial splash screen that displays when opening up Apple Visual Intelligence for the first time. It reads "Visual Intelligence with Camera Control - Learn about the objects and places around you and get even more information about what you see. Images from your camera are not stored on iPhone or shared with Apple."

With the 16e, it’s available via the Action button or a new Control center toggle.

This will also be how it will work on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.

The feature is supposed to detect text and provide translations and summaries.
