Apple wants AI to run directly on its hardware instead of in the cloud::iPhone maker wants to catch up to its rivals when it comes to AI.
Remember, this probably isn’t an either or thing. Both Apple and Google have been offloading certain AI tasks to devices to speed up response time and process certain requests offline.

I am really jealous being an android user that Apple usually have this things running on their own devices with more privacy in mind. But I just can’t accept the close garden Apple push.

They do say that they have privacy in mind. And they are also collecting the same data of their users as Google. Don’t be too jealous, they suck just as much as your next Android-Phone company. But with a higher price tag and a walled garden.

Google is already doing this.

I would change to apple if it weren’t for a few annoying bits, mostly to do with the walled garden. Like the appletv I have has a terrible input for typing unless you have an iPhone…so now I want neither.

I like to own my stuff and have control of it install install whatever I want.

I’m in the same boat, but it seems to be some things they’re going to change in 2024. Namely, sideloading apps, actual Firefox with add-ons, and the ability to actually move app icons wherever I want on the home screen (not sure if that’ll change ever).
They’ve already gone to USB-C, which was the main reason I never would have switched over.

Funny that you mention it, a few months ago when updating stuff I got a new feature on my Android phone… Offline subtitle generation based on audio, just realtime generated from anything outputing sound on my phone.
A Google search suggests this might be an older feature - not sure if my phone didn’t support it, or if I maybe just missed it, or if they added a more obvious button.
Google has a separate app for that stuff, called Private Compute Services. Right now it’s nothing like an offline Google assistant replacement, but I thought it’s really nice to have that stuff available without relying on internet access.

Did you try to turn off the internet to see if it actually works? That’s pretty amazing thank you for sharing!
