Who knew that commercial 40 years ago was about Tim Apple
This is going to become pretty annoying if it keeps happening with every update. And might start discouraging people from updating. I know Apple really wants to push Apple Intelligence, but they should be careful not to become too user-hostile here.
Blathering nonsense. Wishful thinking by the hater crowd.
First world problem. Turn it off in less than a minute.
They always re-enable the options that enable tracking. Privacy #1 my A..
- Significant Locations turned on during updates
- Bluetooth turned on during updates
- AI turned on during updates
- Enhanced Visual Search enabled during updates
- Siri eavesdropping enabled during updates
Next on the list: iCloud UK backdoor enabled during updates

It's not that it's a "problem." No one's worried about the time it takes to turn it off. It's the fact that they do it to begin with. If someone flicked a bugger in your face, it only takes a few seconds to wipe off. I still think you'd be pissed about it.
iOS 19 will need iPhone 16... other phones will continue with iOS 18.7, 18.8, 18.9, 18.10, 18.11....
I bought a phone for this and instantly turned it off. It’s so bad lol. It will go the Siri way.
As many have said before, the first time, I thought it was an honest mistake. But now…
If Apple can switch things on and off on my devices at will, how can I trust their privacy promises? As a loyal customer, I’ve lost all trust in Apple in the last few weeks. This is unacceptable!
What’s next? Blocking me from typing criticism about Tim here on Macrumors by disabling my keyboard?

I think the entire implementation of 'Apple Intelligence' is a complete disaster! Everything we've seen so far feels like a buggy beta product with a horrific interface that only makes things worse. I want to turn it off—I hate how Siri activates every time I try to access Control Center or Quick Search, and the very few times I have asked Siri for something Ive found it quicker and more reliable to just do it myself manually.
Two very different scenarios.
The good news is one can stand up and exercise their agency... by voting with their wallet.
Except once it’s downloaded, it will use up 7GB of space. Disabling it will not reclaim the space, it is there forever. The only way to remove it is to factory reset your device.
This is just awful!!!!!
Yep... Apple iOS has a ton of features, taking up a lot of memory. Some features I'll never use, but know that many other people will use them.
I'm OK with that.

This is that instituional Apple arrogance again -- like assuming everyone wanted U2's new album on their phones.
Wonder why it enabled for some but not others? It didn't enable for me, and it didn't the previous time either?
Weird.
I wish people would switch over to Android instead of just talking honestly, if people are truly that upset, then they should send a message to Apple and leave
Exactly I would say good 50% of people on here complain but don’t do anything about it
