Turn off Apple Intelligence iOS 27

[tehabe]

Operating systems are full of thousands of features you never use but can't disable because they are baked in.

I could disable Siri, I could disable Apple Intelligence, I could disable a lot of annoying things about macOS and iOS. I'm just frustrated that Apple puts Apple Intelligence into the operating system. Just build a MCP like API for iOS and release Apple Intelligence / Siri AI as an or two app(s). If people like it, they will install it, if not, not.

The local model is not taking up 18GB. Literally far too big to load into memory or run at any reasonable speed. Your problem is not Siri AI, it is something else.

Ok you’re right, it wasn’t 18…it was 13.
Yay Apple took 5 less GB from me!!! Lol. It does take 17GB on my iPhone though. So egregious.

I think it’s the combination of the iOS, Apple Intelligence and system data that in first beta is eating up space. Think near 50+ gb which just makes iPads that have 128 gb basically unusable. Maybe it’s something corrected in the next beta or it’s related to the indexing in progress.
