Exactly. Apple is likely to take the edge computing approach (in fact, they already do - try searching your iPhone's photo library for "sports car" or "cat"; I'm fairly certain this all happens on-device using the neural engine). In addition to the leaps and bounds in silicon, Apple has also quietly been making acquisitions in the space (like $200M+ for Xnor.ai - focusing on low-power ML intended for edge computing applications). They are likely relentlessly optimizing, and in typical Apple fashion will not be first to release something, but will do a killer job in distributing it to hundreds of millions of devices/people at once, with a UX that's thoughtfully polished and accessible to all.
