Which means the performance will be noticeably worse than any of the mainstream models.

"The responses are worse, but don't worry, at least the queries are private!" says nobody.

It’s funny how when it’s Apple, everyone is happy to defend even the most incomprehensible decisions with “privacy as a feature”. For everyone else apparently privacy doesn’t count. I think “Donald Trump can’t get your photos” is a pretty good selling point.

		> everyone is happy to defend even the most incomprehensible decisions with “privacy as a feature” Not me. I care about privacy and I know they care about privacy, but what I want to see is that they have a product in the first place before all those other things. In fact, I more or less knew Apple wouldn't ship a good product when all they talked about was privacy instead of providing any meaningful data about performance. Turns out it's all just vaporware.
