Apple devices’ sustainability will be complemented by AI, which will be part of a new business cycle for Apple
Without a doubt, Apple Intelligence Receives Both Positive and Negative ReviewsOn the one hand, Apple’s innovation in this regard is applauded. Your AI will be primarily processed through the device it runs onin other cases it will resort to cloud support but will also use ChatGPT and other systems in case Apple reaches an agreement. On the other hand, will not be present on devices that would be considered recent like the regular iPhone 15 or the iPhone 14 Pro. In addition, in the European Union they will not be present with other functions due to security issues and situations in which Apple is forced to implement it in other systems. Despite this, artificial intelligence seems to be the path Apple will follow to ensure its devices are at the forefront of longevity and durability.
In the absence of innovation and changes in design and hardware, Apple has managed to make its devices durable.
Marc Gurmanhighlights in its Power On newsletter, stresses that Apple AI and software are “most important to your business”“a strategy to extend the life of your devices.” Although it is true that Apple has not consistently innovated in terms of the design and hardware of its devices.that did not prevent the devices themselves from not being durable.
For example, The iPhone 15 maintains a design line that has been in place for 4 years with the iPhone 12. The Apple Watch Series 8 has been maintained for 4 generations before with Apple Watch 4 year series essentially retains its square design line since its origins. Not to mention laptops, the MacBook Pro has stuck to one design for 3 years and only in the iPad branch is it updated with the thinner iPad Pro, a change that took 6 years to happen.
Gurman emphasizes that This prevented users from easily switching devices.. It is more difficult than before and it is also complicated by the economic conditions that each country in the world can go through. A study on the longevity of Apple products was recently published. It highlights that manufacturing technologies, software support and repairability contribute to making these same devices more durable.
AI is the way forward for Apple, so it will make its devices even more sustainable
Now that AI is involved, it’s almost certain that Apple will make a huge deal out of it.
iPadOS and macOS follow the same iOS trend of offering extended update supportIt is true that not all features will be accessible to everyone. iPads without an M-series chip and Macs with Intel will be left without Apple Intelligence.
Gurman himself emphasizes that future AI features and some other software will be available on a subscription basis. In the long term, “Apple will make money from these capabilities”. Those in Cupertino will accustom us to adjusting less hardware and will earn more money thanks to artificial intelligence, in the words summarized by the Bloomberg columnist.
