Why are people happy or approving of AI on apple products, when it seems like the same thing was treated (rightly) horribly when Microsoft just did it.

Is Apple doing it better in some way? Both said it'll be local only, but then Apple is doing some cloud processing now. Do people really just trust Apple more???

It's not just that hardware price that benefits Apple. Their services revenue was 30% of total revenue last year and it's growing. Between the App Store cut, AppleTV+, iCloud, and all the others, they are running headlong into a world where selling an iPhone is a smaller piece of the pie than selling apps and cloud storage is.

Damn… 30% is actually way more than I thought. Profit margins are probably lower, right?

They have to be, but even still it’s digital goods. So, price of production is peanuts once development is covered — just infrastructure.

Not with apple tv+, I believe only netflix makes profit of streaming.
