TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Note: this does not Writing Tools, Memories, Reduce Interruptions, Image Eraser and all the other tools that are within The official Apple Intelligence version.

Part 1: Gestalt modification

Grab a fresh .plist copy of yours, keep a backup and use one to do it, open the .plist file with ANY file editor, use CTRL + F to find "h9jDsbgj7xIVeIQ8S3/X3Q", you should find that line with your phone version under it

Example: iPhone14,2

Replace it with iPhone16,2 ( OR iPad16,3 IF YOU ARE ON iPad) so the line should look something like this: <string>iPhone16,2</string>.

Other working phone versions:||16,1 / 17,1 / 17,2 / 17,3 / 17,4||

Great Job!, you just finished the first step which temporarily spoofs your device so apple thinks its a supported device!

⚠️ ** THIS DISABLES FACE-ID TEMPORARILY **

Now, right after this line:

<key>CacheExtra</key>
  <dict>```
**add** this:
```plist
  <key>A62OafQ85EJAiiqKn4agtg</key>
  <integer>1</integer>

Now, go to Nugget then apply the modified .plist file to your device.

#

Part 2: bypassing the waitlist

Great, now this should make the Apple Intelligence tab appear, if so, go to MikasaX then add the modified .plist file then click on "Apple Intelligence (Extra)", if it doesn't work, using the file I attached to this post eligibility.plist, go to Nugget, or MikasaX and write the file to path to path /var/db/eligibilityd/eligibility.plist on your device.

Part 3: hoping it works

Reboot your device, (Ensure Wi-Fi Connection and disable Low Battery Mode), wait upto 5 minutes to let the phone fully boot up, close the Settings App then reopen it

(⚠️ENSURE YOUR DEVICE'S REGION IS SET TO US, AND LANGUAGE IS SET TO ENGLISH: UNITED STATES)

(⚠️IF YOUR APPLE ID IS IN THE EU YOU NEED TO SIGN OUT OF ICLOUD ENTIRELY, IF IT STILL DOESN'T WORK CREATE A NEW ICLOUD ACCOUNT THAT ISN'T IN THE EU)

In the Apple Intelligence tab: Ensure your Apple Intelligence language is set to English: United States

If you do not have have the green/grey toggle next to "Apple Intelligence" Wait for it to "download" for upto 15 minutes, if not then repeat step 2 and reboot.

Turn the Apple Intelligence switch Off, then On again, then wait for it to download the model.

To know if its actually working and downloading: In settings > General > iPhone/iPad Storage > (scroll down) iOS, there should be "Apple Intelligence", if not, wait for upto 15 minutes.

Step 4: Fixing the Face-ID

get your modified gestalt file, change your device's model (16,2) to your previous model, which can be found in your backup gestalt file, or in https://appledb.dev/device-selection/, then go to Nugget, apply.

It should reboot your device, connect it to Wi-Fi then wait for 5 minutes, it should do some "downloading" for like upto 5 minutes, then the AI should start working again!
