Apple Intelligence now requires almost double the storage of previous models on select iPhone models, according to 9to5Mac. This increased storage demand is due to the growing size of the operating system and AI requirements, specifically Apple's Siri AI, which needs 14GB of free space, as reported by TweakTown.
This requirement has been documented by Apple in their support materials, where they recommend offloading, not deleting, apps to free up space. The current state of the issue is that users are advised to offload apps to free up space, and Apple's documentation on the matter is available for reference.
