Answer99% confidence

No, Apple Intelligence will not work on the standard iPhone 15 or the iPhone 15 Plus.

Apple's on-device AI features require a minimum of 8GB of RAM and the A17 Pro chip (or newer) to run efficiently. The base iPhone 15 only has 6GB of RAM and uses the older A16 Bionic chip.

To use Apple Intelligence, you will need one of the following compatible devices:

iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max
Any model from the iPhone 16 series (all of which feature 8GB of RAM and the A18 chip)
Any Mac or iPad powered by an M1 chip or newer

What could change this answer

Apple could expand Apple Intelligence support to more iPhone models in a future software update.
Regional availability and language support can affect whether the feature appears on a compatible device.
Eligibility can vary by exact model and chipset, so the base iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus may differ from Pro models.
