It's very convenient for Apple to do this: less expenses on costly AI chips, and more excuses to ask customers to buy their latest hardware.

With no company having a clear lead in everyday ai for the non technical mainstream user, there is only going to be a race to the bottom for subscription and API pricing.
Local doesn't cost the company anything, and increases the minimum hardware customers need to buy.
Google has a family of local models too! https://ai.google.dev/gemma/docs
