The funny thing about Apple Intelligence being on by default, you still have to actually interact with the features to get the Apple Intelligence stuff. It’s not like it just magically starts taking screenshots of all your apps and storing them.

The writing tools still have to be invoked manually. The generative imaging still has to be used manually. Siri doesn’t magically connect to ChatGPT or anything, you still have to manually enable it. If you don’t, nothing is different.

What is default now about Apple Intelligence in macOS 15.3, iOS 18.3, et fam is that models will be downloaded in the background and the manual options to interact with them will be available if you’re in a region with Apple Intelligence

Now, if iOS/macOS/tvOS started automatically generating and setting wallpapers/desktop pictures based on the type of foods and beverages Apple Intelligence detected you liked in your photos, then I’d be super pissed, irregardless of how much I love Taco Bell and Baja Blast.

I saw some complaints that complained Apple Intelligence would use disk space for the models, even if you never engaged with Apple Intelligence and that that was a travesty. It’s 4.84GB-7GB, fraction of total disk space.

And since it uses the MobileAsset framework to deliver the models, they’ll get purged when the space is actually needed if Apple Intelligence is switched off.

And of course, Apple Intelligence being “on by default” is if there has been no preferences key previously set to enable it or disable it. If you’ve enabled it in the past, found it wasn’t for you, disabled it, and upgraded to iOS 18.3/macOS 15.3, it won’t get re-enabled.

@rosyna this is why I’m surprised by people complaining about it. It seems like you can almost completely ignore it so if it isn’t good enough for you, just don’t use it.

@Mulderc @rosyna the biggest cool part of Apple intelligence is the cool way Siri invokes with it on

@bynkii @Mulderc A surprisingly surprising number of people wanted just that new Siri screen and would hack their iPhones in some way to enable it, even thought it didn’t change anything with how Siri the service behaves.

@rosyna @Mulderc I’m just bummed that when I turned off Apple intelligence, it went back to the “old” Siri.

@Mulderc You’re surprised about the tech press complaining about something Apple did, didn’t do, did a bit differently, or might be doing?

@oscherler @rosyna with the people I follow I have come to expect a bit more of a nuanced take. Probably was a bit optimistic.
