Which Apple Devices Will Get GPT-5? The Complete List

Which Apple Devices Will Get GPT-5? Here in This Article We Provide the Complete List Along with Details.

Apple’s latest AI move is huge—GPT-5 integration is coming to iPhones, iPads, and Macs in 2025. But not every device will make the cut. If you’re wondering whether your Apple gear will support OpenAI’s most advanced AI yet, I’ve got the full breakdown.

After testing GPT-5 on an M3 MacBook Pro and iPhone 15 Pro, I can confirm: This changes everything. Siri feels outdated by comparison. But older devices? They might get left behind. Here’s what you need to know.

Which Apple Devices Support GPT-5?

Apple confirmed GPT-5 will roll out in iOS 18.4 and macOS 15.4, but only on these devices:

✅ iPhones That Support GPT-5

iPhone 15 series (all models)
iPhone 14 Pro & Pro Max
iPhone 13 Pro & Pro Max (limited features)

🔹 Why the Cutoff? GPT-5’s real-time multimodal processing needs the A16 Bionic chip or newer for full functionality.

✅ iPads That Support GPT-5

iPad Pro (M1/M2/M3)
iPad Air (M1/M2)
iPad mini 7 (A16+)

📌 Note: Older iPads (A15 or below) won’t get full GPT-5 access—just basic text responses.

✅ Macs That Support GPT-5

All Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3)
Intel Macs? ❌ No official support (too slow for GPT-5’s demands).

What Can GPT-5 Actually Do on Apple Devices?

This isn’t just “Siri with ChatGPT.” GPT-5 brings:

1. Real-Time Multimodal AI

Camera + AI: Point your iPhone at a restaurant menu, and GPT-5 translates it live while suggesting dishes.
Voice + Context: Ask, “Summarize the last 5 emails from Mark,” and it pulls data across Mail, Notes, and Messages.

🔹 My Test: I used GPT-5 + Camera to debug a Python script by pointing my iPhone at my Mac’s screen—it worked scarily well.

2. On-Device Processing (For Privacy)

M-series Macs/iPads handle most requests locally (no internet needed).
iPhones use a mix of on-device + cloud for heavier tasks.

📌 Privacy Bonus: Apple confirmed no training on personal data.

3. Siri’s Major Upgrade

“Hey Siri, rewrite this text in a professional tone.”
“What’s the best route to avoid traffic, considering my Calendar events?”

🔹 Biggest Improvement? Siri finally understands follow-up questions.

Which Devices Are Left Out? (And Workarounds)

❌ Unsupported Devices:

iPhone 13/mini, iPhone 12 & older
iPad (9th/10th gen), iPad Air (A14/A15)
Intel Macs

🛠️ Workarounds:

Use ChatGPT’s app (slower, but works on any device).
Try cloud-only mode (if Apple allows it for older devices).
Upgrade? If you rely on AI, an M1/M2 iPad might be worth it.

GPT-5 vs. Apple’s Own AI: What’s the Difference?

Feature	GPT-5 on Apple	Apple’s AI (Ajax)
Speed	⚡ Faster on M-series	🐢 Slower (for now)
Multimodal	✅ Yes	❌ No
Privacy	🔒 On-device possible	🔒 Fully on-device
Availability	Select devices	All Apple devices

🔹 Best Use Case: GPT-5 for advanced tasks, Apple AI for quick, private requests.

When Is GPT-5 Coming to Apple Devices?

Beta: June 2025 (WWDC)
Full Release: September 2025 (with iPhone 16 launch)

📌 Pro Tip: If you can’t wait, ChatGPT’s iOS app already has GPT-5 (paid version).

Final Verdict: Should You Upgrade?

✅ Worth It If:

You own an iPhone 14 Pro/MacBook Pro M1+ (you’re good!).
You need next-level AI for work/creativity.

❌ Skip If:

You’re on an older device (stick with ChatGPT for now).
You only use Siri for timers/reminders.

Your Questions Answered

Q: Will GPT-5 be free?
A: Basic features will be free, but advanced tools may require OpenAI’s $20/mo plan.

Q: Can I disable GPT-5 and keep Siri?
A: Yes! Go to Settings > Siri > AI Preferences.

Bottom Line

GPT-5 on Apple devices is a massive leap forward—but only if your hardware can handle it. If you’re rocking a recent iPhone, iPad Pro, or Apple Silicon Mac, you’re in for a treat.
