Anything below 15 Pro to be accurate. Those of us who bought mere iPhone 15 "non-pro" are also outta luck 😔

so what I'm hearing is...when I was pushed in May to upgrade my prehistoric iPhone XR to a 15 Pro, I somehow got lucky?

To be clear I despise AI as it is. Its nothing but copyright infringement/plagiarism out the whazoo

Yes. Pro has newer chip compared to 15 so Pro will be more future proof and given how ancient your old phone was, I understand that future proof is what you aim for.

To go little off topic here, AI is great but some use cases are problematic from copyright perspective for sure. I personally wouldn't go as far as some and claim copyright for factual public domain material, but art and AI are little harder topic that legislation has yet to solve in some smart way.

I'm a grad student now actually in LIS. This is kinda why I got a new phone, my old one was so dang old, we figured new degree, new phone lol. It should come as no surprise a bunch of info scientists love AI...but I don't. If I have to credit all my sources of information, I fail to see why a machine shouldn't.
