"but for most it makes 0 difference wether the training continuously happens in the cloud or locally on the NPU inside your phone."

Sadly, nobody will ever know if this is true as the choice doesn't exist.

the choice does exist, Apple iPhone does everything privacy first, Android does things cost savings first (aka the cloud)
