To completely turn off the AI software, just head to your settings, scroll down and tap Apple Intelligence and Siri. Now, assuming you previously turned Apple Intelligence on, just toggle the top button off. This will kill all of the AI functionalities, from the Writing Tools to the email summaries to Genmoji, until you enable them again.

Apple Intelligence needs more storage space for on-device AI features. I can't help but wonder if that will lead to better iPhone 17 prices.

Your iPhone, iPad, and Mac are about to use a lot more space for Apple Intelligence. In a recent update, Apple increased the minimum storage requirement for Apple Intelligence from 4GB to 7GB. Here's how you can check how much space the feature takes up on your device and what you can do to free it up.

Recognizing patterns is one thing that AI is actually pretty good at. Apple Intelligence should be taking on the spam problem across the board, because the end result should be that users spend less of their time managing their inboxes.

Now, with the release of iOS 18.2, that has nearly doubled in just a few months. A support page on the Apple website, spotted by 9to5Mac, reveals that supported iPhones, iPads and Macs must sacrifice 7GB of storage for the extra functionality.

From battery drain issues to false summary notifications, there might be a few reasons why you might want to turn off Apple Intelligence.
