I think this is roughly true, but instead RAM will remain a discriminator even moreso. If the scaling laws apple has domain over are compute and model size, then they'll pretty easily be able to map that into their existing price tiers. Pros will want higher intelligence or throughput. Less demanding or knowledgeable customers will get price-funneled to what Apple thinks is the market premium for their use case. It'll probably be a little harder to keep their developers RAM disciplined (if that's even still true) for typical concerns. But model swap will be a big deal. The same exit vs voice issues will exist for apple customers but the margin logic seems to remain. | ||
