I’ve seen it first-hand, sometimes while I watch: Lockdown Mode & HD Encryption toggled off as I’m still in an Apple Store getting “help” (& they inform me they can’t & won’t help stop that)
I havnt installed the 18 os due to not wanting AI on my device nor trusting Apple won’t remove the ability to slide off AI in a future update. Besides buying
Non Apple phone any suggestions?
Seriously, don’t do this. Your phone needs to be secure. Apple Intelligence can be turned off, and there’s literally no company in existence you can trust to respect that more. Especially considering the alternative.
On that note and FWIW, this update and the update I applied yesterday both pushed me through a "Welcome to Apple Intelligence" screen with no way to opt out, just a continue button. It's easy to disable by going to settings but still annoying and pushy of them.

iOS 18 includes many privacy enhancing features like stripping link tracking from URLs.
Upgrade and disable Apple Intelligence if you want. That feature does not send data off the phone
