Personally, I don't see why there's all the rage for AI, in that it's just
a generative response, no better than those of the Apple zealots at times.

But it is revealing that Apple is many generations behind Android in 5G
modems, in modern RAM & battery design, in customization features, and,
now, at least according to Forbes, Apple is two generations behind in AI.

I think this is what happens when a company spends so much on advertising
and so little on actual R&D - where all Apple can do now is copy Android.

 *13 iOS 18 Features Apple Copied From Android*
 <https://www.howtogeek.com/ios-18-features-apple-copied-from-android/>

Notice the mention of "On-Device AI" in that list of what Apple is forced
to copy because Apple's strategy has always been advertising over R&D.

  "Numerous other Apple Intelligence features will be available with the 
   full release of iOS 18 in the fall of this year. Many of them remind me 
   of Galaxy AI, which uses a mix of cloud-based and on-device generative 
   AI tools. On other Android devices that don't have proprietary AI 
   models, you can replace Google Assistant with Gemini to unlock 
   additional functionality.

   Thanks to what the company calls Apple Intelligence, Siri will be able 
   to understand any type of on-screen context and answer questions. You'll  
   be able to generate unique images, proofread messages, summarize texts 
   within your browser, and do a whole host of other virtual assistant 
   stuff. There will also be GPT integration for things not able to be 
   handled on the device.

   All of these features have largely been a part of Android for many 
   years; still, I'm still glad that Apple has finally come around to 
   making these improvements. Whenever Apple does something, it sends out 
   shockwaves in the tech industry, which inspires further innovation.

   To be more specific, I can't wait to see how Apple will tackle on-device 
   AI integration; I'm sure that it'll be good, which means other 
   smartphone manufacturers will be forced to react and attempt to one-up 
   Apple Intelligence with even cooler features."
