What Does "Device Too Old" Mean?

Understanding device compatibility requirements for AI extraction

1 min read

"Device too old" appears when your iPhone doesn't have enough RAM to run the AI model.

Affected Devices

This error typically appears on iPhone XS or older, including the iPhone SE (2nd generation). These devices have limited RAM that may not be sufficient for the AI model.

What You Can Try

1

Close all other apps

Sometimes freeing up memory by closing all background apps can help.

2

Restart your device

A fresh restart clears memory and may allow extraction to work.

Hardware limitation

If the error persists after trying these steps, your device likely doesn't have enough RAM to run the AI model. This is a hardware limitation that cannot be fixed with software updates.
