    Like seriously, what’s the percentage of people that run machine learning algorithms on their phone? 0.0000000001%?

    It’s 100%. You use them on your phone all day every day. Your keyboard used machine learning algorithms as you typed your comment to dynamically adjust the size of the tap target of your likely next character and for autocorrect.

    Every single photo taken on a phone is run through a huge amount of ML to create it.

    All of this is to say, however, that this headline is ridiculous. Aside from Material UI, this is basically a description of every iPhone from the last half decade (with a dedicated “neural engine”). Not really a change in the smartphone world.
