Apple is a hardware company. But their biggest competitor isn't other hardware companies, it's the cloud. It's centralized compute.

If AI does in fact become even a fraction of the game changer other companies claim, then Apple can't afford to let the cloud eat its lunch. Though, I don't think Apple is completely sold on this AI future.

So Apple has a conundrum here. Sit it out, risk more momentum towards cloud compute. Or go all in, risk solidifying something that otherwise would die.
