If Apple AI succeeds, then Android AI will just look like an upgrade by comparison. Best-case-scenario, Apple creates a super-helpful model that exclusively uses local compute; then Android releases the same feature with the ability to choose uncensored models.
Especially considering how Apple's Neural Engine is borderline-pointless for LLMs, neither Android or iOS feel particularly well-poised to deal with this trend. If anything I lean more towards Android, since Android manufacturers have been shipping 8GB of RAM in phones for years, and support the Vulkan accelerators that a lot of inference apps feature.
