- BoorishBears 5y agoSure that's the less invasive indexing I mentioned, but they're also just not even in the same ballpark as Google I'm not convinced that even if Google ported their indexing models to the device (like they did for the Pixel's voice recognition) they'd sink to the level of Apple's current implementation.

- BoorishBears 5y agoDon't they what, port their models to being on-device? I'm not Google, but just look at why they did it for voice: The hardware caught up, the UX is better when it's done locally, and I think they mentioned better power consumption? Presumably at some point that might happen for image recognition. They already started in Google Lens with porting OCR + translation onto the device
