Apple blocks removal of Apple Intelligence models on macOS 27, users stuck with 30GB
busymom0 · hn · 2026-10-07
An HN user complains that even with Siri AI disabled on macOS 27, Apple Intelligence models still occupy 30GB of storage on his 512GB Mac mini and cannot be deleted or moved to his 2TB iCloud plan. He argues the lack of an opt-out deserves more negative publicity to push Apple into changing the decision.
