Apple has something that they've been putting in their hardware for years and that's neural engines. All modern Macs, iPhones, and iPads have them, and they all allow local inference which has dramatic privacy and security advantages over the Microsoft and Google models (which require you to open all your data to "the cloud"). MacOS 14.4 is a misstep (breaking Java and data backups), but I don't think it's indicative of some radical change of focus.
