    Is there “mandatory” AI stuff in new Samsung phones? I am not seeing anything on my relatively recent Samsung (but I also use a custom launcher and don’t really engage in the Samsung ecosystem).

      A couple of their new flagship phones have their AI bundled in.

        But you can probably completely disable/avoid interaction with them these services, no?

        I have my own launcher and FOSS apps, so I am probably missing something, but I don’t see any forced AI stuff and I am on OneUI 6.1.

        Most phones are rife with bundled garbage (to my knowledge even iPhone have ads built in). It’s become less obnoxious compared ~10 years ago, but it’s still an issue.
