Call me old, but I don't think users want AI. Apple summary's turned out barely helpful and that was the big, simple and easy AI application. Instead of a working voice assistant, what uses does AI (LLM) have on a smartphone?

That's the point. Apple is years behind on that stuff

It's just that the implementations are shitty and designed for an "email-calendar-zoom" lifecycle corporate humans, and everyone is trying to "create a new frontier!" while ignoring the actual user behaviour - yes, we sure want to hear an LLM describe Kim K's new instagram post instead of seeing it.
