Yes, but at the end of the day they took away a toggle that allowed you to remove the latent models you don’t use and reclaim space you need.
With Apple Intelligence disabled and ~8GB reclaimed, you could still OCR, still use Siri, still separate subject from background, translate text, so on and such.
Now it’s all or nothing, shoving LLM weights into 128GB of storage for some people.
There’s a better approach.

- iAMkenough 1mo agoThat’s actually more frustrating, since it qualifies with “that now-inactive space” after disabling Siri. To me that means if you go with the “nothing” route and disable Siri, the local latent models aren’t removed from storage until your device fills up, with the hope you enable Siri again. Akin to all of Microsoft's apps with disparate Windows features pre-installed and unable to be removed from your device except through Storage Sense.
