Why I Turned Off Apple Intelligence — Sad Update

Gotta keep them shareholders happy! I’m honestly kinda glad Apple Intelligence isn’t available on my phone, it’s done nothing of any use for me on my M3 MacBook Air or my M4 Mac mini

Apple drops iOS 18.3.1 and more as we await major Siri upgrades

Apple Intelligence and generative AI has me feeling like a Luddite, especially with my iPhone 12 mini. My next upgrade will probably just be an iPhone 13 mini.
