I've been saying the same thing since ANE and the incredible new chips with shared ram, suddenly everyone could run capable local models - but then Apple decided to be catastrophically stingy once again putting ridiculous 8gb's of ram in these new iPads' and their new macbook air's destroying having a widespread "intelligent local siri" because now half the new generation can't run anything.

Apple is an amazing powerhouse but also disgustingly elitist and wasteful if not straight up vulgar in its profit motives. There's really zero idealism there despite their romantic and creative legacy.

There's always some straight idiotic limitations in their otherwise incredible machines, with no other purpose than to create planned obsolescence, "PRO" exclusivity and piles e-waste.
