Google has also been working on (and provides kits for) local machine learning on mobile devices... and they run on both iOS and Android. The Gemini App does send data in to Google for learning, but even that you can opt out of.
Apple's definitely pulling a "Heinz" move with privacy, and it is true that they're doing a better job of it overall, but Google's not completely horrible either.
Yeah, I was thinking of their non-local model like Gemini advanced though.
In any case iPhone probably don't have enough memory to run a 3.25B model? e.g. 15 pro only have 8 GB (and Gemini Nano seems to only work on the 12GB Pixel 8 Pro) and 14 has only 6GB, that hardly seems sufficient for even a small LLM if you still you want to run the full OS and other apps at the same time.
