Apologies, if I've missed the answer already here, I've searched around but can't find it.

Foundation models and Private Cloud Compute require Apple Intelligence to be enabled in Settings as mentioned here.

At the same time it says that Foundation Models PCC calls are supported on all Apple Watch models that run WatchOS 27.

So, will there be a seperate Apple Intelligence setting in WatchOS 27 for those devices? Otherwise if a user has an Apple Watch Series 11 (which does support Apple Intelligence) paired with an iPhone 15 (which doesn't support Apple Intelligence), will they be unable to use the Foundation Models PCC calls from WatchOS in my app? Despite the fact the iPhone isn't involved in these queries anyway?

I have the answer here I think.

No, not only does the Watch have to be running WatchOS 27, it also needs to be paired to an iPhone with Apple Intelligence enabled.

This is despite the fact that PCC queries from WatchOS 27 go straight to the server and don't require the paired iPhone at all 🤷‍♂️
