Apples constant push for subscription icloud data storage is predatory at best. The amount of users/clients I come across with devices way out of date re software/security patches because their iphones not got enough space on it to download its own update and it doesn't provide a easy way to transfer large chunks of data off it like photos/videos is ridiculous. Something like 50% of users easily. Sample size probably upwards of 50. They get constantly harassed by crap asking them to buy icloud storage.

Using the web interface of another cloud provider to upload files there, and downloading it on your other device? Most cloud providers give you around 10GB for free, which should be more than enough room to install ios updates.

yeah the whole Apple Intelligence only available to 15 and 16 iPhone users is anti-user / juice profits move.

The horrid thing is Apple Intelligence is not worth upgrading your device for and yet that's their marketing to get people to upgrade lol. As another commenter in this thread commented a comparable ChatGPT Siri is coming yet not for some months.

Definitely would jump to another platform if the phone is an AI sentient like driven phone (new paradigm in phone design / layout where there's not as much UI). So far ChatGPT is my best experience with such an AI and Microsoft who owns what half of Open AI did create pretty good Windows phone back in the day. Maybe it will happen... been wanting such since I first used ChatGPT.

iPhone 14 has 6GB RAM. iPhone 15 Pro + 16 have 8GB RAM.

The LORA adapters need to be loaded into memory so seems reasonable they would need extra.
