This guy really doesn’t know what he is talking about. most AI companies still haven’t figured out how to make real money.
They’re burning cash on massive infrastructure, struggling to scale beyond pilots, and clinging to hype-driven pricing.
Even the biggest players are still in the red, experimenting with ads and subscriptions just to survive. If you look at apples plan, you can clearly see how they will make money from it. Something he clearly fails to see.

Apple isn’t an AI company. It’s a hardware company. They don’t do Cloud Storage. Apple Makes good phones and computers and that’s it. Why should they have to do AI. You’re gonna need a phone or computer to interact with AI anyways.

Yes you need a computer and phone, until you don’t, innovation on AI will wipe them out

It’s not a hardware company at all, it’s a mix. I don’t know where you got this nonsense.

Dan Ives appears to have limited understanding of technology, and even less when it comes to artificial intelligence. He treats world models as the be-all and end-all of the field, and talks about reaching a ‘digital god’ – largely because he’s bought into Altman’s sales pitch. He name-drops Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta straight from the script. But Microsoft is simply licensing OpenAI’s technology, and Meta isn’t doing much with their models that’s genuinely moving the needle – especially when you consider their spending and losses.

None of the models are a one size fits all solution in the LLM game, Apple placing these models in a siloed place and integrating via internal agent’s will be the solution in this space. I wonder why he name dropped Meta over Google, when in real terms Meta are not really at the table?

Well, so far, l’m happy using ChatGPT on my iPhone, and I’m not going to switch to an Android, a Microsoft phone, or a META phone anytime soon.

Dan Ives seems to have no clue about Apple. Bloomberg should have Mark Gurman debate with him about Apple’s strategy!
