Hopefully. I still can't get around the fact that Apple implements AI in their phones. They're probably monitoring the information.
Apple Intelligence can be entirely disabled, I did it on both my iPhone and my Mac and it hasn't bothered me about it since. Actually Apple seems decent with storing personal information on-device, or at least giving the user options to control it. As shown in my pi-hole, my Apple devices send way less requests to tracking and data harvesting domains compared to Microsoft and Google/Android products.
