The issue is that Android won’t have an AI first experience where you depend on local inference because most Android phones being sold are cheap crappy devices and Android users don’t monetize.

But there is much more to a phone than “just doing stuff agentically”. Either way, you give way too much credit for Google to ever make a good end user product and be able to sell it. Google’s sells of pixels for a year are about the same number Apple sells in three weeks.

Apple’s hardware/ecosystem has been a most for 50 years.

Also Google is non existent in the country that has 1/5 of the worlds population.
