Apple's cutting-edge "Apple Intelligence" feature is on the horizon, arriving with iOS 18.1. While this new AI will supercharge your device, it comes with a catch: you’ll need extra storage to harness its full potential. Here’s what you need to know to ensure your iPhone is ready for this exciting update.
Initial Storage Requirements: 4GB for iPhone 16 Series
According to Apple’s latest documentation, 4GB of storage will be required on supported iPhones, which include iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and all iPhone 16 models. This is in addition to the space needed for the iOS 18.1 update.
Why Future Updates Will Demand More Space
The fine print reveals that Apple Intelligence's storage needs will grow as new AI features are rolled out. So, while 4GB is enough for now, it’s smart to anticipate a future increase — possibly doubling to 8GB in the near future.
How to Prepare
To avoid running into storage issues, consider freeing up some space or opting for larger storage options if you plan to upgrade to the iPhone 16 series.
With Apple Intelligence, iOS 18.1 is shaping up to be an exciting leap forward—just be sure to make room for it!
