I forgot where I read that but it uses some local cache storage API. If it’s turned off the system can free the space if it needs to. Maybe it won’t notice immediately that it was turned off and will continue the download or something.
The real answer? Buy a phone older than the 15. You’ll never get on-device intelligence. My 13 Mini takes great pictures, performs perfectly, has great battery life as a non-gamer. And it should get at least 3 more years of iOS updates (maybe more? phone specs have really leveled off).
Anything newer, Apple and Google will start pushing intelligence on you simply because your phone can do it.
You could try GrapheneOS as well on a recent Pixel.

Bullshit. You can turn off auto download/update in settings.

Gotta be upset about something! The media says so!

The comment you replied to has instructions on how to turn it off. If you turn it off, the data it uses is also deleted from your device.
