iOS 18.3 isn’t a particularly exciting update, but there are plenty of changes you may want to be aware of. One of those changes is that, per Apple’s release notes, the update will switch on Apple Intelligence by default. However, you can still switch it off afterwards.
The release notes mention that “Apple Intelligence will be enabled automatically during iPhone onboarding. Users will have access to Apple Intelligence features after setting up their devices.“ Previously it was an opt-in service, but that’s now changed with CNBC claiming that this is “a step toward a more complete rollout of the feature.”
