Overview

• iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS Sequoia 15.3 automatically enable Apple Intelligence, requiring users to manually disable it if not desired.
• Apple Intelligence consumes 7GB of storage per device, potentially totaling 21GB for users with an iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
• The AI features rely on locally stored machine learning models, emphasizing privacy but increasing storage demands.
