I do not want AI on my phone can I opt out, I understand it is part of an upcoming update. I want security updates but I am not interested in feature updates.

iPhone SE, iOS 17
If you didn’t specifically request Apple intelligence to be installed (you are put on a waiting list if you did) then you don’t need to turn anything off. It’s not there unless you specifically requested it. AI is opt-in, not opt-out.
And if you actually have an iPhone 15 (not 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max) then Apple intelligence is not available for your model anyway. Only iPhone 15 Pro and later can support it.
I wish there was a way to default all apps with AI (Apple Intelligence) OFF when I turn on AI on my iPhone. I only want a couple of apps to use AI (e.g., Pages), but I have to go through a gazillion apps one by one(!) to turn AI OFF. Ahhhhhh
Thank-you for easy simple and effective help.
I wish I could give back to ios 17 as they updated me when my battery went dead! It will be a little hassle I know, but your advice has taken one headache away!
This is partially true. AI is active on all apps even if AI is turned off as a function. I had Siri disabled on all Apps (yes i had to go through all the apps one-by-one to disable Siri and not allow it to “learn from the apps”. When the new ios update came out somehow this was overwritten and I had to repeat the same actions again. So AI was switched on on my devise without my consent along with Siri.
If you updated to iOS 18.3, yes, Apple Intelligence was turned on by default. Apple owns the operating system not you and they don't need your permission to do this. You still have the right to turn it off.

I will welcome any AI enhancement that is intelligent enough to allow me to control Music On Hold.
Ugh
With the new AI in ios and it being infused, I don’t want it. With all their smart ideas why can’t we turn it off if we so choose ti do so.
100% I do NOT want AI built into my iPhone. I will go iphoneless if we do not have options.
Yes, you should always purchase the phone that suits your needs. Android also has AI so you will be using a cheap flip phone without current technology.
I dont want AI and have never used siri on any of my devices
Ok, and?
Yea. Like this “current” technology really has our best interests in mind.
I don’t want AI on my phone. I do not trust it with my personal information
The light phone is a good option ;)
How can I disable Apple Intelligence on my iPhone?
