AI on the device may be the real reason for an M4.

Previous iPads have had that for a long time. Since the A12 in 2018. The phones had it even earlier with the A11.

Sure this is faster but enough to make people care?

It may depend heavily on what they announce is in the next version of iOS/iPadOS.

That’s my point - if there’s a real on-device LLM it may be much more usable with the latest chip.
