iPhone storage and the illusion of choice.

This is more of a general complaint than a question. Why in the world would Apple specify the amount of storage of Apple “Intelligence” and iOS separately, when you can’t uninstall Apple “Intelligence” and it’s forced on to your device with the iOS update? Just make it optional to install or sum the storage in Settings. Literally playing in our faces.

these forums are user helping other users like yourself, it's sort of going to a physical

apple store and asking other customers their advice


to complain to apple you may have more success using their feedback channels

Product Feedback - Apple

Yes, Apple claims to read any and all submissions through the Feedback website though they, in most cases, will not respoind directly. However, it has been seen that if enough people submit a request for a new feature or change, Apple has added it in an update or fixed the reported issue in several cases.


So yes, while you won't get a direct response, it's always a good idea to send feedback to Apple.

If enough people make suggestions, yes, they change things. So, perhaps posting here will encourage other people to submit feedback (or call Apple Support, which also gets logged). But as far as Apple seeing it? No.

That's what's commonly referred to as a rant.

That’s because they are forbidden to participate, except for moderators.
