This unblocks future product work. You have to lay the groundwork.
We need advancements like this if we want on-device AI to work well. This is the kind of thing Apple Silicon needs especially. It's weak relative to Nvidia consumer chips.
Honestly, this seems like enabling work. Even the iPhone 16 Pro Max only seems to have 8GB RAM. If Apple Intelligence plans to do anything useful on-device, they need work like this.
Personally, I‘m holding off on purchasing a new iPhone for this reason, even though my 13 Pro is getting long in the tooth as a full time iOS dev. The coming generation is rumored to have more and better memory (LPDDR5X?), and cooling (vapor chamber).

Research vs productization. Very different.
