    Apple just rolled out iOS 18.3 for iPhones, but a new default setting
    hiding in the software update automatically enables a 'dangerous' feature.

    Before the update, iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Pro/Max users had to manually
    turn on Apple Intelligence in their settings, but now, the AI features are turned on by default.

    Not only does Apple Intelligence pull information from apps and tack
    action within them, the technology requires loads of storage to do so.

    Tech experts warned that the AI system will take up 7GB, regardless what
    device it is running on.

    Therefore, enabling Apple Intelligence on your iPhone comes with certain
    risks.

    If you downloaded iOS 18.3, but do not want the AI system turned on, you
    will have to manually change the default setting.

    To do this, open the Settings app, scroll down and select Apple
    Intelligence & Siri.

    Then, toggle off Apple Intelligence and confirm 'Turn Off Apple
    Intelligence' when prompted.

    Apple Intelligence, released in December, is an artificial intelligence
    system that is integrated into the newest iPhone models.

    It packs a suite of new AI-powered features and capabilities into your
    iPhone to streamline everyday tasks, according to Apple.

    Some experts have called the AI system 'dangerous,' particularly in
    reference to its Notification Summaries feature.
