The iPhone 15 can't support various features available on Pro models and the iPhone 16, but a hack can enable Apple Intelligence and others.
When Apple announced Apple Intelligence at WWDC 2024, it also had to acknowledge the biggest software fragmentation in iPhone history. iOS 18 would enable Apple Intelligence only on the iPhone 15 Pro models and the iPhone 16 series. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus would be left out, as would every other iPhone model still in use. Weeks later, we learned about the two big hardware constraints that make Apple Intelligence incompatible with the non-Pro iPhone 15 models.
As for how they work, the iPhone's Back Tap feature is assigned to the Camera Control button. Also, one of the volume keys is on Action button duty, considering the iPhone 15 still has a traditional mute switch. That is, even if the software hack can enable software features that are not supported on iOS 18, the phone still lacks the appropriate hardware. How is all this possible? The Redditor explains they've used a Nugget tool that's available on GitHub.
