  • "Edge AI" is explained, and from my perspective Apple was the first major brand to go all in with Edge AI for security reasons; now almost all others are doing the same for various reasons. In addition, it will cut down on queries that would otherwise go to the LDCs, I assume;
  • Apple Watches account for 90% of all smart watches delivered;
  • the EU will not likely let this pass; the EU does not like Apple (it's American and too successful) and it does not like monopolies (any anything that has 90% of the market would seem to be a monopoly as defined by the EU; one might expect the EU to require Apple to re-brand 50% of their Apple Watch shipments as Android Watches.
