Apple's approach makes no sense but they don't have a choice because of all the past marketing nonsense. They need to justify their hardware quality/price which is becoming irrelevant because even the cheapest phone work just fine without lags nowadays. AI will be something to be done on servers for the foreseeable future but Apple put itself in a hole with their privacy nonsense. If instead they had truly invested on Macs and allowed their customers to build their own personal cloud, they would have a business case. Instead, they were extremely greedy and tried to double dip with high hardware price and "service" subscriptions (their low storage devices are made just for that). They are going to pay for this short-term thinking, eventually...
