For those of you that are developers, I'm wondering if Apple has mentioned, or hinted at, anything regarding the deployment size/packages for iPhones that WON'T support AI vs those that will. What I'm driving at, will the iPhones that won't be capable of running AI receive a smaller iOS 18 package/installer that's missing the AI code, or will it be the same as those running on 15Pro/Max/16, and by knowing which model iPhone it's running on, skips/doesn't run the applicable AI and other features older phones cannot run?
Not that there's anything that can be done about it. Just wondering how much 'bloat'/unused code, those older phones may carry around with iOS 18. Not that we've haven't already experienced this with features and prior iOS versions some phones weren't allowed/capable of running. I'm just wondering if this is possibly a bigger set of code that's unusable and consuming memory.
Which gets me to thinking about the other post made today called "One more thing - iOS 18 core/light"... Which is a nice idea, but highly unlikely in my view.
