Apple Intelligence now takes up almost twice as much memory as your iPhone!

Apple’s new AI features in iOS 18.2 require more storage space. These features, which include features like Genmoji, ChatGPT, and Image Playground, now require 7GB of free space per device.

According to the “9to5mac” report, due to the requirement of 7 GB for each device, some users may have problems. This will be especially difficult for users using base models with limited storage (eg 128GB). On the other hand, the inability to disable certain features of artificial intelligence to reduce the required space has made memory management more complicated for users. Before installing or updating new features, it is suggested that users check the available space on their device and delete additional files if necessary.

Previously, in iOS 18.1, you only needed 4 GB of free internal space to use Apple’s artificial intelligence, but the introduction of new features in iOS 18.2 has increased this amount.

iOS 18.3 may not have changed much in terms of artificial intelligence, but reports suggest that the next big update in iOS 18.4 will include major improvements to Siri, which will likely require more storage space. Some experts predict that this amount will reach 10 GB per device.

Apple users who are interested in these features should choose models with higher storage space when purchasing new devices.

The increase in the need for storage space to use Apple’s new artificial intelligence capabilities shows that users will have to pay more attention to the internal space of their devices in the future. These changes may even increase the demand for models with more memory. If you also use these features, it is better to plan for enough space on your device.
