Apple Intelligence causes concern because it 'eats up' iPhone storage

According to PhoneArena , after updating iOS 18.2, Apple Intelligence increased the occupied space on the iPhone from 4 GB to 7 GB, making users of low-memory devices like the iPhone 15 Pro 128 GB feel worried.

Apple Intelligence causes concern because it requires a lot of storage

Apple Intelligence is increasingly 'eating up' iPhone storage

For Samsung users, Galaxy AI's Live Translate is considered one of the most useful AI (artificial intelligence) applications on the phone, allowing users to chat with each other in different languages with ease. Meanwhile, Apple Intelligence, although expected to bring breakthrough experiences, has not really made a strong impression beyond the ChatGPT integration feature with Siri.

However, what is more concerning is the amount of memory that Apple Intelligence takes up. Initially, Apple announced this number as 4 GB. But after the iOS 18.2 update with new features such as Image Playground, Genmoji, the required capacity increased to 7 GB.

This means that Apple Intelligence takes up 5.5% of the storage on the 128GB iPhone 15 Pro models. Meanwhile, iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro Max users can be more accepting with a minimum storage capacity of 256GB.

Experts predict that Apple Intelligence will continue to consume more space in the future. This could lead to Apple increasing the minimum storage capacity on iPhone lines, similar to the upgrade of RAM from 6GB to 8GB on iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus to meet Apple Intelligence requirements.

Although Apple Intelligence can be disabled, many users are concerned that uninstalling it will not completely free up the storage space that has been used.

The question is whether Apple Intelligence is compelling enough for users to accept the trade-off of precious storage, or whether Apple needs to further optimize to deliver a smooth AI experience without affecting users. All of this remains to be answered in the future.
