Those who are running iOS 27 developer beta, is there anyway to delete Apple Intelligence? It seems baked into the software and I don't see myself using AI features at all, and plus, it looks like it's taking quite a chunk of my space.

I tried turning Siri off, but it looks like it is already turned off. I might just downgrade to 26 and keep it there, if Apple is truly shoving this down our throats.

Any suggestions would be appreciated and helpful
 
Then maybe a smart phone isn’t for you
What a bad take. Most Apple Intelligence features are outclassed by third-party AI tools. The main exception is agentic functionality, and that’s largely because Apple restricts what third-party apps can do on the device. Wanting to disable a feature you don’t use is perfectly reasonable.

If anything, Apple Intelligence is aimed at mainstream users who aren’t already using dedicated AI tools. Personally, I'm curious to try the new Siri/ Apple Intelligence, but I doubt I'll use it much. Outside of basic chatbot use, I do most AI-related tasks on my computer.

I do too. I’m testing the new Siri and it is not smart enough yet. On my phone I have perplexity pro, claude, and chat gpt I use. If it doesn’t improve in considering Samsung this time.

why would moving to samsung change things? siri al is basically better than what samsung has with gemini, it has better on screen awareness, siri answers tends to be as good as gemini if not better and photo editing also is better on ios 27.

why not just keep using 3rd party al apps if that works for you. don't see why moving to samsung makes sense unless you are just bored with using the same OS

everyone is saying siri is good, but mine has been kinda bad? i asked it to help me track calories (essentially to just do basic addition) and it couldn't even comprehend the query.
