How much iPhone storage does Apple Intelligence use?

According to Apple's support documentation, Apple Intelligence is available on the iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16 models, and iPads and Macs running the M1 chip or later. For iPhones specifically, this personal intelligence system requires a minimum of 4 GB of free storage to function.

Apple stated that this is not storage space included in the iOS 18.1 update installation package, but rather the free space required to use Apple Intelligence, meaning that in subsequent versions, the memory requirements may increase significantly.

Apple stated that the 4 GB of storage is not included in the iOS 18.1 update installation package.

Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software, presented Apple Intelligence at the WWDC 2024 event in June, emphasizing that this system will usher in a new chapter in how users experience Apple products.

However, with the increasing demand for storage capacity, iPhone models with 128GB of storage may struggle to optimize memory if they already contain a lot of data, especially for users who frequently take photos, record videos , and install many apps.

Apple has also predicted that in the future, as Apple Intelligence is upgraded and more features are added, the demand for free storage space may continue to increase. This could make lower-capacity iPhone models like 128GB less attractive, and push Apple towards equipping its devices with base storage of 256GB or more, similar to the strategy Samsung has adopted.

Experts from Gadgets360 believe that while this high memory requirement may not pose too much of a problem for high-end iPhone models with large storage capacities, for users of older iPhone models or lower-capacity versions, it could lead to a shortage of storage space, forcing them to consider upgrading their device or deleting personal data.
