2GB makes all the difference in running on device models depending on how large the models are. I'm not an Apple fanatic if my posts in this very thread says anything but I do run various AI models locally on device just an enthusiast not in a professional capacity and RAM is 1 big factor in determining how well a model operates.
Got a tip for us?

No doubt. As Kuo said iPhones need more ram. We won’t see a supercycle of upgrades this year. This is stop gap stuff we saw today to buy more time.
NVIDIA produces with TSMC as well. Because Chip Design is soooooo easy they are a Trillion Dollar Company, owning the AI Compute market. Makes Sense. Yup. Totally.
What would you use them for? Apple doesn’t have a server OS or middleware anymore.
I love that researchers were able to hack it so now Microsoft knows how to better secure it. I don't see anything being backtracked. No such thing as perfect security. I can't wait for researchers to get hands on iOS 18 to see how secure it is.
But haven't I been reading all the time on this forum that 8 GB is enough for everyone?
The ability to change your tone in email is neat. I think I'm going to change my email signature to "Sorry I sound like an ***hole, I have an iPhone 14 Pro."
Nvidia is a good salesman. The more popular you are, the more you can sell and get priority with capacity and quotes.
TSMC is the real genius. Nvidia isn’t doing anything except being a good salesman.
Apple and I guess Nvidia now are good at booking TSMC capacity and blocking out competitors from getting access to the latest nodes. There isn’t any engineering secret with what Nvidia or Apple is doing.
What Apple should be concerned about is if this AI hype is real and Nvidia can start driving higher volumes than Apple. TSMC will start prioritizing Nvidia over Apple, meaning Nvidia can start making better chips than Apple due to gaining access to the best nodes first. Nvidia cpu/SOC might be a real possibility in the future.
So you don't know who ASML, Applied Materials, Lam, etc. are, huh?
This is OpenAI's announcement which includes GPT 4o. Some of you may have seen what 4o live voice and live video analysis without latency can do. Its changing everything, the way we live and the world as we know it. I wonder whether voice and video capabilities of 4o will be a part of iOS / MacOS in autumn.

This wasn't even a matter of Windows being secure or not, it was what Recall was doing that made it especially egregious.
What? Almost all features that run on-device (I think actually all) are an adaption of the features running on-device on S24 series. And next week you will say Apple started the AI ear on smartphones!
Maybe so. But Apple should be able to use a smaller model for the older devices like 14 pro.
Of course it is. But Apple is not putting this in an unencrypted file that anything can access (to Microsoft’s credit, they did change that).
Yeah, correct. Anything on device is Apple. In the cloud, ChatGPT
That’s a very good question. Like even the new mail features? Priority Features for notifications? The call recording? The new Siri? I guess we’ll have to wait for the YouTubers to come and answer these questions.
Also… Apple HAS changed their mind before and allowed other devices.
That’s true.
Which brings a question. Does Siri have ChatGPT built in…
I didn’t see the cloud subscription requirement but yes Apple has long bundled their software features in with their hardware prices… which is where the Apple Tax, in part, comes from.
Probably taking the bait here, but TSMC has customers including AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm (Snapdragon).
It's true that their 3nm process is unique (made possible by ASML), but that does not mean you can just give them a wishlist of requirements and say "btw just bake it at 3nm". You need to provide them with a chip design and work with them to make it possible.
There was a lot that Apple announced that has nothing to do with ChatGPT.
This is such a bad argument. Do you know ASML gets their lens from Zeiss? Does that mean Zeiss makes the EUV machine manufacturing process and not ASML?

You know how all those PC laptops have the ugly Intel inside sticker on them? No doubt Intel gave the OEMs a break to put it there. This is the reverse. Apple probably paid billions extra so they DON'T have to mention chatgpt in their marketing
It's just business
Oh, so you now recognize that from development to the hands of the consumer involves more than just fabrication of a chip? This is like saying that Apple had nothing to do with the OLED's in their screens...which I'm sure you mistakenly believe as well.
What about the non-Siri stuff like what they were showing in mail and messages? Is that all hidden behind UI that won’t be surfaced on older hardware?
