What gets me with all this AI talk, is how much of it Apple will lock behind new devices, even though it'll mostly all be software and cloud based.
This is what I came here to say as well. I doubt the current models will get the full array of AI features.

Just look at the marketing of Samsung’s Galaxy S24 lineup. They‘re calling it an AI phone instead of a smartphone.

Maybe the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max will get close to the same number of AI features as the 16. I’m very curious how Apple plans to stagger the AI features/capabilities across their different devices.

Perhaps only the 8GB RAM models will be fully functional with AI. There could be AI and AI Plus levels. We’ll see.

Apple will release their AI and the first 6 finger human will be shown across the media and Apple's miserable failure will be shouted from the hilltops.

Meanwhile Dalle et al have been giving out the 6+ fingers for a year now.

Apple won't be treated the same. (But I am willing to be that in time it will better....similar to how many other AR goggles we have seen and Vision pro destroyed them all)

I think Apple always had the underlying research and resources to enter this space—they simply weren’t motivated to do so until the recent AI tipping point. Competition is good.

I think we’ll find anything running an M2 (or the A series it’s based on) will have the same features. Anything with an M1 (and corresponding A series) will either have slower performance or have certain things dropped.

A new floating point unit was introduced after M1 was already in production, so the hardware to accommodate it isn’t in previous generations.

Apple wants to have 100% on-device AI, the model they are developing is definitely innovative because all other models (including Pixel's 8/8 Pro) run at least on a hybrid model.
And Apple model is running nowhere (not for the users). There is no indication that what was demonstrated can run on a phone.

Now there is one more. Download it and compare.

Seems a little bit like using control net in stable diffusion and doing a style change. Now sure if a whole model is needed for this. Also many corporate models (like MS Bing creator/Dallle3) are so “sanitized” that they cannot function normally. I wonder where Apple is going to fall on that spectrum.
There are still certain words that can’t be used when searching for content in images… so I say more towards the latter. :)

And yet even then we won’t be able to ask Siri, “Turn on kitchen lights and set to 35% and light blue.”

“Play my subscriptions for YouTube on AppleTV.”

Seriously. When it gets smart enough to play content that I purchased from Apple without acting like it has no idea what I’m talking about, or smart enough to reliably turn my damn lights on, I’ll be interested.

Any graphics artist who directly deals with clients seriously think AI will be able to "interpret" what a client wants when it comes to art work?🤔

Can people really specify what they want clearly enough that AI can create the image they want? My retired art director brother, who worked for Continential Airlines and before that freelanced, scoffs at the idea.

That just means the AI is human like us! :) Most humans can not even draw a round circle! lol

This might eventually make it to some version of iOS in the future.
