Lets Review It 4 u
Apple
Intelligence
features
are
scheduled
to
roll
out
to
compatible
iPhone
models
with
the
iOS
18.1
update
starting
in
the
US,
which
could
be
rolled
out
sometime
next
month.
Ahead
of
the
release,
the
Cupertino-based
tech
giant
has
revealed
how
much
storage
space
these
features
will
require.
The
details
were
shared
in
the
latest
iOS
18.1
Developer
Beta
5
update.
Notably,
the
storage
requirement
is
considerably
high,
and
it
might
require
some
users
to
free
up
space
before
they
can
download
and
install
the
update.
How
Much
Storage
Space
Will
be
Require
to
Run
Apple
Intelligence?
In
the
support
documentation
for
the
recently
released
iOS
18.1
Developer
Beta
5
update,
the
Apple
details
the
amount
of
on-device
storage
needed
to
access
the
new
artificial
intelligence
(AI)
features
showcased
earlier
this
year.
In
the
section
titled
“Supported
Devices”,
the
company
stated,
“Apple
Intelligence
is
available
on
iPhone
15
Pro,
iPhone
15
Pro
Max,
all
iPhone
16
models,
and
iPad
and
Mac
models
with
M1
and
later.
iPhone
devices
need
4GB
of
storage*.”
A
thing
to
note
here
is
that
this
4GB
of
storage
space
will
be
required
in
addition
to
the
space
to
install
the
iOS
18.1
update.
That
means
the
next
stable
version
of
the
operating
system
will
be
a
sizeable
update
for
all
users.
While
this
should
not
affect
those
users
who
own
a
compatible
iPhone
model
with
high
storage,
iPhone
owners
who
bought
the
base
128GB
variant
might
find
themselves
running
out
of
storage.
Since
there
is
still
some
time
before
the
company
rolls
out
the
update,
users
should
try
to
free
up
some
space
on
their
devices.
This
can
be
done
by
utilising
iCloud
storage
or
an
external
hard
drive
to
store
large
videos,
photos,
and
other
files.
Notably,
the
support
document
only
mentions
iPhone
devices
and
not
other
devices
which
will
also
be
getting
Apple
Intelligence.
Additionally,
the
company
also
highlighted
that
the
on-device
storage
requirement
for
Apple
Intelligence
will
increase
as
more
features
are
added
in
the
future.
Users
will
need
to
adjust
to
this
as
well.
In
the
future,
this
could
make
the
128GB
variant
of
iPhone
models
unpopular,
and
the
company
might
Samsung’s
route
and
introduce
the
lineup
directly
from
256GB
storage
and
above.
