    How much storage does this save?

      Interestingly, Siri AI was able to answer this with a reference: Up to 14 GB. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;SZGh1ca" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;SZGh1ca

          The &quot;Always verify important details. Siri is an Al that may make mistakes.&quot; is the new version of &quot;your mileage may vary&quot;.

          Also, I get a similar message when using Gemini, OpenAI and Claude.

          I own a &quot;Standard iPhone&quot; and an M1 Mac; these numbers track.

              Keep tilting at windmills. Wikipedia was also not a source
