Everything Apple iOS 18 Will Do, Android Already Does

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Android can do satellite messaging? Android phone makers are shipping on device LLMs?
I'm not an Apple fanboy nor do I use an iPhone currently but this headline is ridiculous.
Do people actually want these?
LLM is AI correct? If my phone is going to do AI at all, I prefer it be done on device for sure. For privacy reasons if nothing else. But it's not anything I've really looked into. I have the S24 and the only AI feature I use is the Circle to search... which I don't consider to be AI.
LLM is a form of AI, specifically the text AIs like ChatGPT that have suddenly made "AI" a dinner table term. AI in some form or another is almost definitely being used in your device - even for things like filling in gaps in low-quality voice calls, and probably has been for a while. But the problem is that unlike those "old" AIs, LLMs require some significant power to run, so running them on phones will probably require meaningful trade-offs. But the increased security is also a meaningful benefit.
