We’re already using it. The text suggestions in Messenger are now riding off a tiny local LLM and it’s a noticeable improvement over the previous suggestion engine. Apple has been using AI and ML for over a decade in IOS (in the camera, in photos, in contacts, and of course messaging), they just never really advertised it (well that’s not true, they give it an apple name, talk about it in a keynote, then it just becomes part of the band), and now they see that “AI” is quickly becoming a worthless buzzword like “Zero Trust” (if you’re in netsec you know what I’m talking about, its on everything now) or “Y2K Compliant” back in the day. When Apple DOES decide to put AI to the forefront on iOS, it won’t be called AI, I can promise you that.
