Unlike other AI-driven tools that heavily rely on cloud computing, Apple's latest update with iOS 18 will run its AI suite directly from your iPhone. That's right, no internet connection required. This ensures that your personal data never leaves your device.

Apple’s shift to on-device processing with their newly developed AI model, 'Ajax', offers both speed and enhanced privacy, and also minimizes the risk of data breaches.

While tech giants like Google and Microsoft still depend on cloud-based AI solutions, Apple’s move to local processing sets them apart in the smartphone market control battle and also boosts consumer confidence in their products.
