I’m interested to see where this goes. That said, I am now planning to delay upgrading my iPhone 11 Pro until iPhone 18 comes out. IMHO Apple and everyone else is moving way too fast with adoption. The deployment surface of iPhone is huge - I’m interested to see how Apple handles their first really serious issue (like “diverse Nazis”). Also - current AI programs are complete and total pigs. iPhone 16 offers 8GB of memory and 1TB storage. I know the programs need the memory and so forth but still. I get it but I’m also going to wait now for the vendors to figure out the new future. In the meantime, I will watch and wait. Plus, if Apples history is any indicator, the first 2-3 versions will be lame but then around 4 or 5 it will take off.

Imho, one of the reasons Apple built out their hybrid security/privacy arch was so they could trade data transfer for cpu/mem, when it makes sense. The user sees some additional latency, but Apple can deliver equivalent functionality across hardware generations, with some calling out to servers and some doing on-device processing. Honestly, I'm mostly impressed that Apple is aiming to deliver OS-level, works-in-all-apps functionality. Imho, that's what users really want, but MS and Google's product org structures hamstring them from being able to deliver that quickly.
