If they have an iPhone, they have:

• Siri

• A photos app with an AI that identifies image subjects and allows search by content

• Computational photography

• 17 language translation built-in, more if they get Google Translate

• OCR when you tap on an image containing text

• Voice-to-text transcription in the default keyboard

• Fall detection and step counting powered by machine learning

I think AI is likely to be like "3D" or "multimedia" in the 90s: it will be a sales buzzword until it's everywhere and therefore no longer a differentiator.

3D acceleration itself is still a big market, it's just that when everyone had a GPU (unlike my Performa 5200), the marketing shifted to which specific brand — NVIDIA, AMD, or whatever.
