Requires iPhone 15 pro

See: https://sindresorhus.com/amazing-ai#why-does-the-app-require...

"Developed exclusively for Apple silicon (M1/M2) - The app is NOT compatible with devices running on Intel chips."

I guess the app store redirected me to the desktop store?? Does not indicate an iphone 15 being required at all

The description is written by the software developer. The "Information" section near the end lists requirements for supported devices. iPhone and iPad say "Requires iOS 17.1 or later and a device with the A17 Pro chip or later", and the first iPhones with A17 chips or later are the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

I like how when I first opened the link, App Store said I need iOS 17.1 or greater.

So I updated to 17.2.

And only then does App Store let me know that it’s not compatible with this device anyway.

Thanks, Apple!

(I have an iPhone 14 Pro.)
