Apple’s Stealthy Plan: How iOS 18.3 Enables Silent AI Takeover, Whether You Like It or Not

iOS 18.3 Update: Apple Intelligence to Arrive with Default Activation

The wait is almost over for Apple’s latest software update, iOS 18.3, which is set to bring a slew of new features and changes to the table. One of the most significant updates is the activation of Apple Intelligence, a feature that will now be turned on by default for new and upgraded devices.

What’s Changing with Apple Intelligence?

According to the release notes, Apple Intelligence will be enabled automatically for users who are new to iOS 18.3 or upgrading from an earlier version. This means that users will have access to Apple Intelligence features without needing to manually enable them through settings. However, users who don’t want to use these features will need to proactively turn them off by navigating to the Apple Intelligence & Siri Settings pane and disabling the toggle.

A Shift in the Default Setting

This change marks a significant shift in Apple’s approach to Apple Intelligence, as users have previously needed to manually enable the feature to access its features. The move to default activation aims to encourage more widespread adoption and use of the technology.

What’s New in iOS 18.3?

While Apple Intelligence is getting a significant upgrade, iOS 18.3 also includes other changes and refinements. For example, Notification Summaries, which aim to aggregate multiple notifications from a single app using AI, are being disabled for News and Entertainment apps due to issues with accuracy.

Expert Opinion: Is This a Good Move?

According to Chris Smith, an expert in the field, the move to default activation is “inevitable” but also raises concerns about user privacy and control. “Apple is very keen to get users au fait with Apple Intelligence, but it was wise to make it an opt-in only feature, given its a very much an acquired taste and something users have legitimate reservations about allowing into their lives,” Smith notes.
