John Ternus points Apple toward on-device AI and it could be the most disruptive bet in the industry

John Ternus's appointment as Apple CEO signals a potential strategic pivot toward on-device AI inference powered by the Neural Engine architecture he helped build, positioning Apple to compete on privacy and latency rather than cloud-scale model capability. If Apple can deliver AI experiences that run entirely on-chip without external API calls, it challenges foundational assumptions about where consumer AI value is created and captured. The bet is long in the making and would force a significan
