The newly released iPhone 17 series is facing early complaints from some buyers, who report that Apple Intelligence features are not functioning as expected on their devices.
According to user reports, affected iPhone 17 models prompt owners to download Apple Intelligence tools, even though the software is already installed on the device. Attempts to reload the features have also failed, leaving users unable to access the company’s latest artificial intelligence functions. The issue appears to affect all four models in the iPhone 17 lineup, though it is not widespread.
This is the second major concern raised since the series went on sale. Earlier, some buyers noted cellular connectivity failures on the standard iPhone 17, while iPhone 17 Pro models were observed with visible scratches on the rear panel.
Technology news outlet MacRumors reported that Apple has acknowledged the software problem and is working on a fix. The company is expected to release a solution in an upcoming iOS 26 update. Until then, users experiencing the glitch have been trying workarounds, such as switching between Wi-Fi and cellular data, toggling airplane mode, or performing a device reset. A few have also attempted to change system language or reset iPhone settings to restore functionality.
For those still unable to access Apple Intelligence features, the next software patch is likely the only long-term resolution.
