Open-source RemoveMacAI tool deletes Apple Intelligence models and disables AI features on macOS 27

RemoveMacAI is an open-source command-line tool that its developer says automates turning off Apple Intelligence features, deletes Apple’s local AI models (the developer estimates ~12 GB), and blocks them from being re-downloaded on macOS 27; it also provides a revert command to restore the models and features. The developer claims the changes persist across macOS updates, though storage reports vary (one user saw Apple Intelligence using ~35 GB).

Apple $250M Siri AI settlement opens claims for eligible iPhone owners

US owners of iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 purchased between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 can file a claim in Apple’s $250 million class-action settlement over delayed AI-enabled Siri; claims must be submitted by December 21, 2026 and estimated payouts are about $25 per eligible device (potentially up to $95 depending on the number of claimants). The suit said WWDC 2024 previews created an expectation that AI features would arrive with the iPhone 16, Apple later delayed the Siri AI rollout (which arrived with iOS 27) and denies wrongdoing.
