de-clickbaiting: Apple is building AI processors into its consumer devices instead of buying chips from Nvidia and building out AI datacenters

Even if Apple didn't make any headway into the AI ecosystem, I feel like they are eating other folks legacy businesses for lunch.

They are a huge gaming marketplace while Xbox is faltering. They are a juggernaut in hardware and now moving into the low-end.

Frontier AI is a red red ocean and it feels like Apple's just chosen to sail elsewhere.

This is little more than brand worship dressed up in layers of assumptions of deep strategic genius. Several of the assumptions are also incorrect, as Apple has been trying to make headway in this direction with little success. I get that hn is prone to the reality distortion field but please, we can do better than this.
