Apple Intelligence now opt outs
At the same time, Apple is making Apple Intelligence a part of the operating system which is active by default with iOS 18.3, iPados 18.3 and Macos 15.3. Therefore the AI ​​models are automatically loaded and the entire AI system now opt-out instead of opt-in, as Apple has recently announced. Users who do not want to use Apple AI at all should shut down Apple Intelligence later. The AI ​​system is currently available only on MAC in the EU and only available when the operating system is used in English. On iPhones and iPads, Apple Intelligence can be activated in a roundabout manner.
In the European Union, Apple is planning to give a system with iOS 18.4 in April, possibly with the current missing support for German.
