On-device AI / Devices & setup

Is your iPhone ready
for on-device AI?

Your words. Your device.
Here's what needs to be ready.

Talori's AI helps you capture information and find the right wording. It's optional: entries, returns and standard reminders work without AI, too.

01 / The hardware

These iPhones
have the foundation.

Apple lists iPhone 15 Pro models, iPhone 16 models and newer compatible models as a requirement for Apple Intelligence.

iPhone 15 Pro

  • iPhone 15 Pro
  • iPhone 15 Pro Max

iPhone 16 family

  • iPhone 16
  • iPhone 16 Plus
  • iPhone 16 Pro
  • iPhone 16 Pro Max
  • iPhone 16e

iPhone 17 family

  • iPhone 17
  • iPhone 17 Pro
  • iPhone 17 Pro Max
  • iPhone 17e
  • iPhone Air

Compatible hardware alone does not guarantee availability.

Talori's on-device AI requires iOS 26 or later. Apple Intelligence must be enabled, models must be fully downloaded and the on-device model must support your language. Apple's regional restrictions also apply.

Without Apple Intelligence

iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, older iPhones and all iPhone SE models do not support Apple Intelligence. If your device meets Talori's operating system requirements, you can still use the app without the additional on-device AI features.

What about iPad or Mac?

Apple Intelligence is also available on certain iPads and Macs. A dedicated iPad version of Talori is planned, but is not yet available.

02 / A few simple steps

Get AI
ready for you.

  1. Update your iPhone

    Open Settings → General → Software Update and install an up-to-date version of iOS 26 or later. Apple Intelligence itself may already be available on earlier iOS versions, but Talori's on-device model features require iOS 26.

  2. Enable Apple Intelligence

    Open Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri and enable Apple Intelligence if it is turned off.

  3. Align your language settings

    According to Apple, your device language and Siri language must be set to the same supported language. In Talori, choose a language that the on-device model also supports. A translated app interface does not guarantee AI support.

  4. Let the models download fully

    Connect your iPhone to Wi-Fi and a power source. Apple lists 7 GB of device storage as a requirement. Model downloads can take time after an update or language change. Talori cannot install these models itself.

  5. Check the status in Talori

    During onboarding and in settings, Talori shows whether on-device AI is available and what may be missing. Review every AI draft before saving it or sharing a suggested message yourself.

03 / App language is not AI language

13 app languages.
AI depends on the model.

Talori's interface supports German, English, Swedish, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (Portugal), Norwegian (Bokmål), Russian, Danish, Finnish and Turkish.

Generally listed by Apple

German, English, Swedish, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Norwegian, Danish and Turkish appear in Apple's current general language list for Apple Intelligence. Individual features and the on-device Foundation Models model may differ.

Finnish and Russian

Finnish and Russian are not currently on that general Apple list. Talori's interface is available in both languages; on-device AI in those languages is not promised here. Manual features remain usable.

The status on your device is what matters.

Talori checks model availability and language support at runtime. Even a language check cannot rule out every later rejection by the model. That is why there is no blanket promise that every AI feature works in every app language.

04 / If something is still missing

Not ready yet?
You can still get started.

Apple Intelligence is turned off.

Enable it under Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri. If this setting is unavailable on a compatible device, check the iOS version, language and Apple's regional requirements.

The model isn't ready yet.

Leave your iPhone connected to Wi-Fi and power, check available storage and wait for the download. A language change can trigger another download. Talori cannot force it; manual features remain available.

My language isn't supported.

Use Talori without AI or deliberately choose a language supported by the on-device model and adjust the device and Siri languages according to Apple's requirements. Choosing a website language does not change any setting on your iPhone.

What can Talori do with on-device AI?

Available AI features include Quick Capture drafts and writing suggestions for reminder messages. They require a supported device and an available local Apple model. You review and confirm the results yourself; ordinary reminders do not require AI. Automatic photo/scan analysis is currently disabled.
