I forgot where I read that but it uses some local cache storage API. If it’s turned off the system can free the space if it needs to. Maybe it won’t notice immediately that it was turned off and will continue the download or something.

Oh well, I see that we have no control anymore.
Bullshit. You can turn off auto download/update in settings.
The real answer? Buy a phone older than the 15. You’ll never get on-device intelligence. My 13 Mini takes great pictures, performs perfectly, has great battery life as a non-gamer. And it should get at least 3 more years of iOS updates (maybe more? phone specs have really leveled off).
Anything newer, Apple and Google will start pushing intelligence on you simply because your phone can do it.
You could try GrapheneOS as well on a recent Pixel.

Thanks for posting this. My partner is a refugee and some of her friends are targeted by their former government. I passed word to her to make sure they all know about this.

Gotta be upset about something! The media says so!

The comment you replied to has instructions on how to turn it off. If you turn it off, the data it uses is also deleted from your device.
