so alongside all the other surveillance shit in the version, iOS devices aren’t even subtle about how they’ll exfiltrate your voice and data now. bitter lol @ the no option being “not now”
and of course you can’t fully disable apple intelligence now https://hachyderm.io/@evacide/117276255916296665

yeah. “connection assist” is gonna exfiltrate even if you think you have a pi-hole. ios 27 will send your data via cell plan.

most AI corps pretend not to train on user data. they’re lying, as has been proven repeatedly (most recently with the mathematicians’ codex data getting exfiltrated behind their backs), but they pretend not to
apple isn’t even pretending, they need your data
it doesn’t matter to them if someone else consented, or if your data or voice are being handled by someone else’s device, and they aren’t particularly subtle about the opt-in being temporary (“not now”)
no, it’s not better that apple isn’t lying about it, they’re trying their hardest to normalize surveillance
