Yes, this is part of what is supposed to justify the premium prices, is that they can have a different business model.
But it seems Tim Cook can’t leave anything on the table. I’m really going to be irritated if we end up with a premium Siri. It’s going to undermine the privacy aspect, the hardware innovation, and everything else they have going for themselves despite missing the boat on AI
If they ever actually manage to make Siri competitive you can bet it will be another subscription and bundled with Apple One.
Even the CPU. Windows users lose probably 25% of their machine power to ads, telemetry and OEM spyware and spamware, back to Oracle’s Ask Bar in 2005.
I'd say Windows 98 with IE bundled in Explorer and Active Desktop.
It was ahead of its time, now we have people shipping Electron all over the place.
