Apple has a different problem, too much of a focus on privacy.
Doing AI well (especially on a battery-constrained phone) requires cloud models. SOTA models require Nvidia GPUs (or maybe Trainium / TPUs), definitely not private cloud compute and Mac Minis with no interconnect. I don't think Apple can deliver that, and I don't think they're willing to open up their OS for competitors to do that either.
