Apple Lost the AI Race

Apple lost software race, might win hardware

Apple lost the race for AI software dominance, but might win the race for AI hardware. They've lagged in developing AI features, relying on Google's help for Siri. Their strategy is to sell the devices that will run future on-device AI.

• 📱 Apple's "Apple Intelligence" is seen as catching up, not leading, with features integrated into their ecosystem.
• 🤔 Competitors like Google and Samsung offer more advanced AI features on their phones already.
• ☁️ Future AI will increasingly run on-device, a hardware strength Apple aims to leverage.
• 🤝 Nvidia also seeks a piece of the AI hardware market, especially outside the US.
• 🔮 The core question is whether AI companies will create hardware compelling enough to pull users from iPhones.
