Why would you need a dedicated chip for any of that?

Seems like it is powered by:

> [...] an on-device machine learning algorithm that can process music in real time

Their latest apple TV includes the A15 which includes a 'neural engine' for ML, and this is also included in their latest iPhone / iPad, so that might be part of it.

The divide in expectations is funny. Non-Apple-user: "ML stuff? Must be 'in the cloud'." Apple user: "ML stuff? Must use a special chip in the device."

And then there's me, asking why do we even need ML for that. :D
