Is EVERY update going to enable Apple Intelligence now? I don't want it, I don't need it, I want it OFF and staying OFF.

I swear I was hoping Apple would be better about this, but they want to shove it down our throats just like Microsoft and Google.

Does this fix the issue where the UK government can't access all encrypted iCloud data?

That was quick!

What happened to rapid security response updates?
From what I recall the two times that they actually tried it publicly, it did not go well.
The extended build numbers that added on after the security patch was installed caused issues for some websites and back-up tools. Plus, they still require to restart anyway.
They probably just decided that there wasn’t enough advantages to keep dealing with them given that that was a long time ago now.

There have been so many bugs in the Recents tab in the Phone app for over a year that still haven't been solved. I wonder if they ever use the Phone app at Apple.
