Ok, I'll take the bait and disagree with your agreement.
Apple has a good thing going for now. However, their tightly coupled HW/OS and insular corporate culture limit their reach. LLM is a good example of this. They may have their own cooking in some secret room. Or not. What is the value=(reward/risk) of making something like an on-device LLM that Apple might do? Maybe Apple will acquire you or maybe you get Sherlocked.
As an example, Siri was an acquisition and neat trick, but it's barely improved since 2011 (I'm still a basically satisfied many x daily user). Although Apple has changed lots since 2011, it hasn't demonstrated an ability to execute something like meaningful integration and improvement of an LLM. Therefor I would not agree that "Apple is in a prime position to make strides in language model development on their hardware."
