I do not want AI on my phone can I opt out, I understand it is part of an upcoming update. I want security updates but I am not interested in feature updates.

if it can not be disabled, I’m keeping my 13 forever and I’m not allowing updates. This just made my any decision about replacing my PC and tablet much easier.


iPhone 13 is incapable of Apple Intelligence, though is already running ML for various features including embedded text recognition, and lifting the foreground subject from photos, among other features.


On iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and later, models which do support Apple Intelligence, it can be disabled.


Enabling and disabling is here:

This is partially true. AI is active on all apps even if AI is turned off as a function. I had Siri disabled on all Apps (yes i had to go through all the apps one-by-one to disable Siri and not allow it to “learn from the apps”. When the new ios update came out somehow this was overwritten and I had to repeat the same actions again. So AI was switched on on my devise without my consent along with Siri.
