Apple have been shipping various pieces of advanced AI in their consumer products for many years already. As the technology has allowed it, they have started moving even larger models to the edge - siri is now available on-device, for example.
They have been building dedicated hardware into their devices specifically for this - for years! State of the art LLMs have already been shown to run on ios devices.
I very much doubt that apple is behind - more likely just polishing off their next usecase.

On device inference is just another area Apple is behind in. Now that they're ramping up ads, I expect them to get better at ML, but to get to the level of their competitors will require a concerted effort, not the typical siloed development of normal priority projects.
