I love how Apple obsessively does things on the edge, on the device itself rather than on the cloud. Sometimes my lowly iPhone X gets super hot during charging. Next morning I either get the facial recognition updated, a new memory generated or something else has happened. It's nice, confidence evoking even. The features you like are run on your device, with your data not leaving your device, on its free time. This is the AI I like. Personal, confined and private.

They're in the best possible position to innovate on the literal edge, because they've got a fleet of billions of devices that mostly auto-update. As hardware advances, Apple will have the clearest path to deploying truly personal and locally hosted AI.

And because it's their business model, you don't have to worry about it changing. They do stuff on-device because they want to keep selling expensive devices. It's fantastic for them that they sell the hardware, unlike Google/OpenAI that have to spend on hardware.

  More so these days you buy some expensive hardware but keeping subscribing to apps and buy TV shows and cloud storage from them due to convenience. And then you buy the next model after a few years because why would you change a working formula for some Samsung/Google android BS that won’t be as clean….
