I want to block the intrusive AI on my phone but keep my security

if this is so, pl tell how to turn it off! I have searched Apple Intelligence in settings to turn off the toggle as mentioned by someone else, but I don’t see it on my iPhone 15.

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.

Yes you can. settings>AppleIntelligence>Exit_Waitlist.

If you experience any more issues read the official guide.

If my IPhone did not have AI on it when I bought it and now it’s being forced into my IPhone how do I return it for a full refund

Hello~ Agreed!!

You'd have to ask Intune that question. They aren't owned by Apple.

Definitely more complete information than I had provided! I had restricted my observations to iPhones.

If that's the case, then I'm pretty sure somebody lied to you, or at least made a sweeping generalization.

I still have my old Mac Plus in a case in the basement. The latest OS it supports is OS 7.5.5.

If I fired it up now it would still be able to do everything it did back in 1986, which means that it still "functions properly". I just can't watch Netflix on it. Or right-click on anything (which it never could do).

Likewise with my iPod touch (6th gen). It tops out at iOS 12.5.7, but it does everything it ever did. It still runs some apps that my iPhone SE 2 with iOS 17.6.1 cannot, such as the "Encyclopedia of Arda" app. Apple removed that from the App Store.

The battery life sucks though.

About the AI ... my iPhone SE 2nd gen is supposed to be able to update to iOS 18 when it's released. It's the earliest model that can.

It will NOT, however, support the AI features, which is fine by me. If I can keep the same or similar functionality of the current Siri, I might even update to 18. Otherwise, no.

Apple must follow laws. Thus laws like CCPA as well as GDPR. Thus, Apple will have a way to allow users to disable it. They will give us a way to turn it off. There are laws in place to protect us. Don’t stress it. It will be a simple toggle button in the settings area. No big deal people that want it will get it and people that don’t won’t be bothered with it. Yep thank god for CCPA
