I'm never gonna disagree with a sensible point of view in that AI is
nothing more than a fad gimmick that, according to Forbes, Apple is two
generations behind Android (i.e., Google) on - so we agree on that.

However, we just might need to find a few more facts to back up your
assertion that Apple leapfrogs everyone after being behind for years.

How's Apple doing on leapfrogging everyone on their integrated 5G modem?
To be something like ten years behind in hardware is gonna be a big jump.

We long ago proved beyond a doubt that Apple's IC design teams are
incompetent (e.g., almost every Apple chip has unpatchable flaws).

But maybe Your Name used at least a single fact to base his opinion on.
Can you name even a single design that Apple successfully leapfrogged?
